"Optimism is the madness of insisting that..." - Quote by Voltaire

“I have chosen to be happy because it is goo for my health.”

“An infallible method of making fanatics is to persuade before you instruct.”

“We cannot always oblige; but we can always speak obligingly.”

“The highest thinkers of the ages, the seers of the tribes and the nations, have been optimists.”

“Achievers rarely, if ever, see a problem as permanent,while those who fail see even the smallest problems as permanent”

“Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)”

“The miserable's name is Man; he is agonizing in all climes, and he is groaning in all languages.”

“Joie est mon caractere, C'est la faute a Voltaire; Misere est mon trousseau C'est la faute a Rousseau. [Joy is my character, 'Tis the fault of Voltaire; Misery is my trousseau 'Tis the fault of Rousseau.] - Gavroche”

“Be not afraid of anything. You will do marvellous work. It is fear that is the great cause of misery in the world. It is fear that is the greatest of all superstitions. It is fear that is the cause of all our woes, and it is fearlessness that brings heaven even in a moment. Therefore, "arise, awake and stop not until the goal is reached.”
