Life can seem like a gloomy wait in the thick of black shadows.And still there are those who smile at the darkness, anticipating the beauty of an eventual sunrise.

Imagined happiness is still happiness.

Laugh as if it's funny, embrace as if it's love, and smile anyway.

Disappointment is really just a term for our refusal to look on the bright side.

Hope is the fuel within all human souls.Eliminate hope—nothing moves, nothing grows.

Optimism: That effervescent, blindingly- bright, perky, chipper, twittering quality you want to squash out of annoying people.
