Positive thinking is the notion that if you think good thoughts, things will work out well. Optimism is the feeling of thinking things will be well and be hopeful.

Believing you're something that you're not excites the mind and the imagination. And it's hopeful.

Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.

It is the hopeful, buoyant, cheerful attitude of mind that wins. Optimism is a success builder; pessimism an achievement killer.

Optimism with some experience behind it is much more energizing than plain old experience with a certain degree of cynicism.

My optimism has helped me through some hard times. If you try to send out good things, good things come back to you.

I'm a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.

Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.

I think optimism springs from nature. I'm a gardener. Nature has taught me about rhythm, the essence of every art. With so much that is terrible, nature gives me pleasure.
