“Pessimism is only the name that men of weak nerves give to wisdom”
Bernard De Voto
“Pessimism is only the name that men of weak nerve give to wisdom.”
Mark Twain
“An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight. . . The truly wise person is colorblind.”
Albert Schweitzer
“More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.”
Woody Allen
“The man who is a pessimist before forty-eight knows too much; if he is an optimist after it he knows too little”
“I guess I just prefer to see the dark side of things. The glass is always half empty. And cracked. And I just cut my lip on it. And chipped a tooth.”
Janeane Garofalo
“There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist.”
