Quotes on Blind Optimism

I believe any success in life is made by going into an area with a blind, furious optimism.

The basis of optimism is sheer terror.

May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism.

I'm not talking about blind optimism, the kind of hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or the road blocks 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.

Hope is the bedrock of this nation. The belief that our destiny will not be written for us, but by us, by all those men and women who are not content to settle for the world as it is, who have the courage to remake the world as it should be.

Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
