To the optimist, pessimists are neurotic; to the pessimist, optimists are deluded.
David Levy
Optimists and pessimists die the same way. They just live differently. I prefer to live as an optimist.

Don't ever become a pessimist, Ira; a pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun, and neither can stop the march of events.
Robert A. Heinlein
I am an optimist, unrepentant and militant. After all, in order not to be a fool, an optimist must know what a sad place the world can be. It is only the pessimist who finds this out anew every day.
Peter Ustinov
Pessimists are just realistic optimists.
