There are really two kinds of optimism. There's the complacent, Pollyanna optimism that says "don't worry - everything will be just fine" and that allows one to just lay back and do nothing about the problems around you. Then there's what we call dynamic optimism. That's an optimism based on action.

Christian optimism is not a sugary optimism, nor is it a mere human confidence that everything will turn out all right. It is an optimism that sinks its roots into an awareness of our freedom, and the sure knowledge of the power of grace. It is an optimism that leads us to make demands on ourselves, to struggle to respond at every moment to God's call.

Josemaria Escriva

But before looking to the future, let's glance back at the road we've traveled these past two years because that is the source of much of the optimism we are all feeling about the future.

Linda Lingle

It's best to not confuse optimism with hope. Optimism is a psychological attitude toward life. Hope goes further. It is an anchor that one hurls toward the future, it's what lets you pull on the line and reach what you're aiming for and head in the right direction. Hope is also theological: God is there, too.

Pope Francis

As Oregonians, we share a deep optimism for a better future. From the time of the Oregon Trail, we have understood that a better future won't just happen by accident or by sticking with the status quo.

Ted Wheeler

The average pencil is seven inches long, with just a half-inch eraser - in case you thought optimism was dead In fact maybe there is a lesson there for how we should approach the future...with fourteen parts optimism - anticipating what could go right and the benefits - and one part pessimism - anticipating what could go wrong so we can avoid them.

Robert Breault

Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so.

Noam Chomsky

Human spirit is the ability to face the uncertainty of the future with curiosity and optimism.

Bernard Beckett

Today we confront the future with optimism from a founded hope for the Iraqi people - in freedom

Jose Maria Aznar

You have to look to the future with optimism instead of negative ideas. Take the good and the bad and face it head on.

Goldie Hawn

There's probably a little greater case for pessimism than optimism. But I do not rule out optimism.

Jim Leach

One of the major biases in risky decision making is optimism. Optimism is a source of high-risk thinking.

Daniel Kahneman

We need more pessimism that the future might be a lot worse, and we need more optimism that the future might be better.

Peter Thiel

You have to open up to the world and learn optimism...Contentment with the past, happiness with the present, and hope for the future. Learned optimisim.

Jennifer Crusie

Optimism is a duty. The future is open. It is not predetermined. No one can predict it, except by chance. We all contribute to determining it by what we do. We are all equally responsible for its success.

Karl Popper
