There is nothing so pitiful as a young cynic because he has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A cynical young person is almost the saddest sight to see, because it means that he or she has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.
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 is full of naive disappointments.
He who believes in nobody knows that he himself is not to be trusted.
I have no cynicism at all.
Cynicism is an unpleasant way of saying the truth.
He's simply got the instinct for being unhappy highly developed.
He who has faith has... an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well - even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.
He who knows all things and believes nothing is damned.
What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
