I have never met a successful person that was a quitter. Successful people never, ever, give up!
I've never once met a successful blogger who questioned the personal value of what she did.
I don't consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin.
I'm a bad pessimist. I don't think about how successful any record I've ever done is going to do before it came out.
I'm a pessimist by nature. A pot head, but a pessimist.
I just don't sleep enough. But I have never met someone very successful who, at the end of their life, says 'I wish I slept more.'
But I am an optimist about Britain; and the difference between an optimist and a pessimist is not that the optimist believes the world is wonderful and the pessimist believes it's beset by challenges; the difference is the pessimist believes we will be defeated by them; the optimist thinks the challenges can be overcome.
Ted Cruz is a liar. I never met a liar like him. I met a lot tougher people than him but I never met a guy who lies this much.
I have never met a successful person who talked about failing. The glass is always half full. I don't even like being around negative talkers.
Don't ever become a pessimist... a pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun, and neither can stop the march of events.
I'm a pessimist. But I'm a pessimist with a sense of responsibility.
Between the optimist and the pessimist, the difference is droll. The optimist sees the doughnut; the pessimist the hole!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist? An optimist laughs to forget, but a pessimist forgets to laugh.
I sometimes feel I have met everyone he ever met, but I never met him. I am afraid to say I have always been - the word I would have to use is - amused by Howard Hughes.
Have you ever met a successful person who wasn't restless- who was satisfied with where he or she was in life? They want new challenges. They want to get up and go...and that's one of the reasons they're successful.
I think some people who have never met me have a misconception that when I was living with my father when he was successful, that I was somehow adversely affected by his success or the money he had and was making at the time.
