Optimist Creed

Famous quotes containing the words optimist and/or creed:

    The man who is a pessimist before 48 knows too much; if he is an optimist after it, he knows too little.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Of course, Behaviorism “works.” So does torture. Give me a no- nonsense, down-to-earth behaviorist, a few drugs, and simple electrical appliances, and in six months I will have him reciting the Athanasian Creed in public.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
