An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while the pessimist sees only the red stoplight. The truly wise person is colorblind.
A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.

I am not a pessimist; to perceive evil where it exists is, in my opinion, a form of optimism.

I guess I'm a hopeful optimist, because to be a pessimist is to be suicidal.
