A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
乐观
Optimism
Pessimism and optimism are slammed up against each other in my records, the tension between them is where it's all at, it's what lights the fire.
在我的记录中，悲观主义和乐观主义是相互猛烈抨击的，它们之间的紧张关系是问题所在，是点燃火焰的东西。
Expect people to be better than they are; it helps them to become better. But don't be disappointed when they are not; it helps them to keep trying.
期望人们比现在更好;它帮助他们变得更好。但如果没有，也不要失望;它帮助他们不断尝试。
I came to the conclusion that the optimist thought everything good except the pessimist, and that the pessimist thought everything bad,except himself.
我得出的结论是，乐观主义者认为一切都好，除了悲观主义者，悲观主义者认为一切都坏，除了他自己。
Choose the positive. You have choice - you are master of your attitude - choose the positive, the constructive. Optimism is a faith that leads to success.
选择积极的一面。你可以选择——你是自己态度的主人——选择积极的，建设性的。乐观是通向成功的信念。
We must return optimism to our parenting. To focus on the joys, not the hassles; the love, not the disappointments; the common sense, not the complexities.
我们必须把乐观主义带回我们的父母身上。专注于快乐，而不是烦恼;爱，而不是失望;是常识，而不是复杂性。
When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.

Optimism: The doctrine, or belief, that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly, everything good, especially the bad, and everything right that is wrong.
乐观主义:认为一切都是美好的，包括丑陋的，一切都是好的，尤其是坏的，一切都是对的，一切都是错的学说或信仰。
Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.
希望和乐观肯定不是一回事。不是坚信某事会有好结果，而是确信某事有意义，不管结果如何。
I am an optimist, unrepentant and militant. After all, in order not to be a fool an optimist must know how sad a place the world can be. It is only the pessimist who finds this out anew every day.
我是一个乐观主义者，不后悔，好战。毕竟，为了不做一个傻瓜，乐观主义者必须知道这个世界会有多么悲伤。只有悲观主义者每天才会重新发现这一点。
Politics has always been the art of the possible. Today it's too often the art of the probable -- tinkering around the edges without any greater vision, without a sense of optimism and imagination.
政治一直是可能性的艺术。如今，这往往是一种可能性的艺术——在没有更大远见、没有乐观和想象力的情况下，在边缘修修补补。
If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.
如果你把你的烦恼称为经历，并记住每一次经历都在你的内心发展出某种潜在的力量，你就会变得充满活力和快乐，不管你的环境看起来多么不利。
The most noteworthy thing about gardeners is that they are always optimistic, always enterprising, and never satisfied. They always look forward to doing something better than they have ever done before.
关于园丁，最值得注意的是他们总是乐观，总是进取，从不满足。他们总是期待着做一些比以前更好的事情。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Optimism is the madness of insisting that all is well when we are miserable.
乐观是在我们痛苦的时候坚持一切都好是一种疯狂。
An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight... the truly wise person is colorblind.
乐观的人看到到处都是绿灯，而悲观的人只看到红灯。真正聪明的人是色盲。
Optimist: Person who travels on nothing from nowhere to happiness.
乐观主义者:什么也不做，从无路可走到幸福的人。

It's hard to argue against cynics -- they always sound smarter than optimists because they have so much evidence on their side.
