The characteristic political attitude of today is not one of positive belief, but of despair.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain ideas that every man is bound to be a critic for life.
Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
Political courage is not political suicide.
Pessimism only describes an attitude, and not facts, and hence is entirely subjective.
Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can't be done.
I am not a pessimist; to perceive evil where it exists is, in my opinion, a form of optimism.
The only reason to have a positive mental attitude is that it makes life better. It doesn't cure cancer.
You can't live a positive life with a negative mind and if you have a positive outcome you have a positive income and just to have more positivity and just to kind of laugh it off.
Optimism is the madness of insisting that all is well when we are miserable.
Ideology, politics and journalism, which luxuriate in failure, are impotent in the face of hope and joy.
