The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A pessimist is a person who has had to listen to too many optimists.
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
A pessimist is a man who thinks all women are bad. An optimist is one who hopes they are.
It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.
I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
Don't ever become a pessimist... a pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun, and neither can stop the march of events.
I refuse to use terms like 'optimist' or 'pessimist' and instead prefer 'realist.'
Optimism means better than reality; pessimism means worse than reality. I'm a realist.
A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.
The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
