“Today is a new day. Even if you were wrong yesterday, you can get it right today.”
“Hysterical optimism will prevail until the world again admits the existence of tragedy, and it cannot admit the existence of tragedy until it again distinguishes between good and evil. . . Hysterical optimism as a sin against knowledge.”
“orang2 yg menang di hidup tidak selalu kuat, cepat, pintar. pada akhirnya yang menang adalah orang yang percaya pada dirinya sendiri.”
“Not all that have fallen are vanquished.”
“Just another case of sometimes. Sometimes fates plans are different from your own. Sometimes the beautiful things are right in your reach but you settle for things that are good enough to make you happy. Sometimes people that should be trying harder than ever, give up on you. Sometimes feelings are so strong that you decide its time to give up. Sometimes giving up is the worst thing you can do. Sometimes people think it ll all work out. Sometimes people think it ll get better in time. Sometimes people do what they can do today, tomorrow. Sometimes the most beautiful emotions are the ones that are most neglected. Sometimes people mistaken love for lust. Sometimes people miscommunicate. Sometimes people say things that they don t really mean. Sometimes people say things that they mean and just say them wrong. Sometimes people think they ve moved on. Sometimes people think that they will never move on. Sometimes people share they re lives with people that they don t really love. Sometimes people let the people they really love pass through they re lives. Sometimes people chose to stay alive. Sometimes people chose to live.”
“Instead of cursing the darkness, try to fix the lamp.”
“تشاؤمُ العقل .. تفاؤلُ الإرادة”
“To make the world a better place, see the world as a better place.”
“In my ninety-plus years, I have learned a secret. I have learned that when good men and good women face challenges with optimism, things will always work out! Truly, things always work out! Despite how difficult circumstances may look at the moment, those who have faith and move forward with a happy spirit will find that things always work out.”
“Optimism: That effervescent, blindingly- bright, perky, chipper, twittering quality you want to squash out of annoying people.”
“Look back, and smile on perils past!”
“I ve never been more hopeful about our future. I have never been more hopeful about America. And I ask you to sustain that hope. I m not talking about blind optimism, the kind of hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. I m not talking about the wishful idealism that allows us to just sit on the sidelines or shirk from a fight. I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighting.”
“The reason why we believe that change is possible is not because we are idealists but because we believe we have made it, so other people can make it as well.”
“Real optimism is aware of problems but recognizes the solutions, knows about difficulties, but believes they can be overcome, sees the negatives but accentuates the positives, is exposed to the worst but exceeds the best, has reason to complain but chooses to smile.”
“Let me tell you something: when you dance, you are the greatest dancer who has ever lived. And when you sing, you will have the courage to raise your voice to the heavens, knowing that you may never get an answer.”
“So everything lets us down, including curiosity and honesty and what we love best. Yes, said the voice, but cheer up, it s fun in the end.”
“I know we re not saints or virgins or lunatics; we know all the lust and lavatory jokes, and most of the dirty people; we can catch buses and count our change and cross the roads and talk real sentences. But our innocence goes awfully deep, and our discreditable secret is that we don t know anything at all, and our horrid inner secret is that we don t care that we don t.”
