"A pessimist? That's a person who has..." - Quote by Elbert Hubbard

“Often we can help each other most by leaving each other alone; at other times we need the hand-grasp and the word of cheer.”

“Those who create beauty are also they who possess it.”

“Positive anything is better than negative nothing.”

“Cease negative mental chattering. If you think a thing is impossible, you'll make it impossible. Pessimism blunts the tools you need to succeed.”

“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”

“The human race consists of the damned and the ought-to-be damned.”

“Nothing is difficult in the eyes of a lover.”

“Nothing makes the future look so rosy as to contemplate it through a glass of Chambertin.”

“Observe that noses were made to wear spectacles; and so we have spectacles. Legs were visibly instituted to be breeched, and we have breeches. Stones were formed to be quarried and to build castles; and My Lord has a very noble castle; the greatest Baron in the province should have the best house; and as pigs were made to be eaten, we eat pork all year round; consequently, those who have asserted all is well talk nonsense; they ought to have said that all is for the best.”
