Optimism is the foundation of courage.
Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress.
The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.
It is the hopeful, buoyant, cheerful attitude of mind that wins. Optimism is a success builder; pessimism an achievement killer.
Pessimism of the spirit; optimism of the will.
A heart well prepared for adversity in bad times hopes, and in good times fears for a change in fortune.
The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear.
I'm one of the most optimistic persons in the world. I always believed that - there's another shot, another chance. In boxing, I never gave up. I kept trying, kept trying. Even when things seemed so dim, I continued to push forward to make something happen in my favor.
The basis of optimism is sheer terror.
Optimism is a kind of heart stimulant - the digitalis of failure.
