Got any positive, cheerful quotes?

Asked by Shecky_Johnson (720points) March 23rd, 2010

I have a friend who is a bit down these days and I wanna hit her with some positive, cheerful (kinda cheesey) quotes.

I’ve all ready dropped “Unto every life, a little rain must fall (nobody said you can’t bring an umbrella).” I know it’s kinda lame, but hey, that’s my style.

Alright, Fluther-naughts, lay ‘em on me.

What’s the difference between a pessimist and an optimist? The pessimist says “this can’t get any worse”. The optimist says “of course it can!”

There are hundreds of languages in the world, but a smile speaks them all.

@thriftymaid There are well over 7,000 languages in the world and in many cultures, the baring of ones teeth would not mean something positive ;) ;) But a charming quote nonetheless :)

@La_Guerrera_Mas_Funki . We don’t all show our teeth when we smile. :)

@La_Guerrera_Mas_Funki Would you be so kind as to name those cultures, or at least one or two? I mean, if studies show an infant smiling in the womb, I’d be inclined to believe that smiling is a species thing involving all of humanity. A smile without teeth is still a smile.

Yesterday is already a dream and tomorrow is only a vision, but every today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

@Trillian That was good. Definitely the best use of a parentheses (singular form?) that I’ve seen yet! ;)

What was that one Emily Dickinson poem? Rushing to Google..
Ah, yes!

“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I’ve heard it in the chilliest land
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me. ”

That woman was a goddess. <3

Life is nasty, brutal, and short. Thank God—it might have been nasty, brutal, and long.
