OPTIMISM
Quotes
Thanks for showing me that even on the darkest, rainiest days the sun is still there, just behind the clouds, waiting to shine again.
In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery and death.
How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.
Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.
Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.
