I am a stubborn optimist: I was born an optimist and will remain an optimist.
An optimist is neither naive, nor blind to the facts, nor in denial of grim reality. An optimist believes in the optimal usage of all options available, no matter how limited. As such, an optimist always sees the big picture. How else to keep track of all that’s out there? An optimist is simply a proactive realist.
I am an optimist, unrepentant and militant. After all, in order not to be a fool an optimist must know how sad a place the world can be. It is only the pessimist who finds this out anew every day.

Not forever does the bulbul sing In balmy shades of bowers, Not forever lasts the spring Nor ever blossom the flowers. Not forever reigneth joy, Sets the sun on days of bliss, Friendships not forever last, They know not life, who know not this.
With optimism, you look upon the sunny side of things. People say, 'Studs, you're an optimist.' I never said I was an optimist. I have hope because what's the alternative to hope? Despair? If you have despair, you might as well put your head in the oven.
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.

I am an optimist. If I ever quit being an optimist, I guess I'll become a Republican.
It may not seem that way, but I am an absolute optimist, an unrepentant optimist.
I'm a serious optimist. I come from a country where you have little to be hopeful for, and so you have to always be an optimist.
You have to be an optimist, right? You have to be critical, then you have to be an optimist. Or else you're really stupid.
Life inflicts the same setbacks and tragedies on the optimist as on the pessimist, but the optimist weathers them better.
I'm still a hard-edged reporter, but I'm an optimist. I'm a perpetual optimist.
People tell me, "You're such an optimist". Am I an optimist? An optimist says the glass is half full. A pessimist says the glass is half empty. A survivalist is practical. He says, "Call it what you want, but just fill the glass." I believe in filling the glass.
