The outcome is usually the same for an optimist or a pessimist, but the optimist has a more enjoyable time waiting...

Some Scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe. -- Frank Zappa

Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality.

As long as the mind is seeking to fill itself, it will always be empty. When the mind is no longer concerned with filling its own emptiness, then only does that emptiness cease to be.

It's true that misery loves company. If you ever doubt
that, look at a No-Pest Strip. It's COVERED with flies.
You'd think that the FIRST fly would tell any others
"GO AROUND! GO AROUND!..."

Take this at least, this last advice, my son:
Keep a stiff rein, and move but gently on:
The coursers of themselves will run too fast,
Your art must be to moderate their haste.
(Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso), Metamorphoses: Story of Phaeton (bk. II, l. 147))
