Cynicism is full of naive disappointments.

The cure for cynicism is simply to engage honestly.

Don't give in to cynicism. It is a toxic spiritual state.

I have no cynicism at all.

Cynicism is tough. A cynic's point of view is really pitiful. I derive pleasure out of a lot of things in life. As long as I'm fairly healthy, it's hard to stay dismal for very long.

Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the furthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness: a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say 'no.' But saying 'yes' begins things. Saying 'yes' is how things grow.

Cynicism stems from disappointment. Cynical and faithless people were not always like that. They were filled with possibilities and hope as kids. But they tried and perhaps failed.

Cynicism means the conduit to the soul has a great kink in it, like a garden hose in which nothing flows in either direction.

I am not a cynic.
