Don't pessimism and caution naturally go hand in hand?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Pessimism, when you get used to it, is just as agreeable as optimism.
My pessimism goes to the point of suspecting the sincerity of the pessimists.
There's probably a little greater case for pessimism than optimism. But I do not rule out optimism.
My pessimism extends to the point of even suspecting the sincerity of other pessimists.
We all agree that pessimism is a mark of superior intellect.
Prudence is not the same thing as caution. Caution is a helpful strategy when you're crossing a minefield; it's a disaster when you're in a gold rush.
One has to have the courage of one's pessimism.
During an economic slowdown, one needs to be cautious, but I think it's equally important to not get sucked into the vortex of defensive thinking.
I don't believe in pessimism. If something doesn't come up the way you want, forge ahead. If you think it's going to rain, it will.
Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power.
