Optimism can be relearnt.

There's probably a little greater case for pessimism than optimism. But I do not rule out optimism.

Optimism is the foundation of courage.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

What I've really learned over time is that optimism is a very, very important part of leadership.

Optimism doesn't wait on facts. It deals with prospects. Pessimism is a waste of time.

There are really two kinds of optimism. There's the complacent, Pollyanna optimism that says, 'Don't worry - everything will be just fine,' and that allows one to just lay back and do nothing about the problems around you. Then there's what we call dynamic optimism. That's an optimism based on action.

Optimism is a kind of heart stimulant - the digitalis of failure.

Be hopeful. Be optimistic. Never lose that sense of hope.
