 “OPTIMISM, n. The doctrine, or belief, that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly, everything good, especially the bad, and everything right that is wrong. It is held with greatest tenacity by those most accustomed to the mischance of falling into adversity, and is most acceptably expounded with the grin that apes a smile.

It is hereditary, but fortunately not contagious.” | Ambrose Bierce quotes (American Writer, Journalist and Editor, 1842-1914)
