There are really two kinds of optimism.

Americans like optimism, and 'Once' walks a tightrope: you feel uplifted at the end even if you're crying.

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.

Emmeline Pankhurst

Even in a gleefully negative comic, there is optimism, although it's slightly hidden: It comes out through a comic character's sheer tenacity. He keeps going and trying to find some sort of fulfillment regardless of his perpetual failure record. That's a form of hope, a form of optimism. Really hokey I know, but it's true.

Lev Yilmaz

Learning to deal with setbacks, and maintaining the persistence and optimism necessary for childhood's long road to mastery are the real foundations of lasting self-esteem.

Lilian Katz

Fame has no necessary conjunction with praise; it may exist without the breath of a word: it is a recognition of excellence which must be felt, but need not be spoken. Even the envious must feel it: feel it, and hate in silence.

Washington Allston

The theater is necessary. Dance is necessary. Song is necessary. The arts are necessary- they are a necessary part of our lives

Barack Obama

I feel I have the necessary skills to compete with the best, I wouldn't have even aimed for the UFC if I didn't think I did.

Artem Lobov
