La vie, c'est pas des corn flakes

ASSUME NOTHING, QUESTION EVERYTHING

Name:
Location: France

It's not the critic who counts;not the person who points out where the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms; who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls,who know neither victory nor defeat.

En attendant...

Voici quelques phrases piochées au hasard de mes lectures sur l'optimisme et le cynisme, in english.

The optimist proclaims that we live in the best possible world. The pessimist fears that it is true.

A cynic is a man who when he smells flowers looks around for a coffin.

The power of accurate observation is often called cynicism by those who haven't got it.

A cynic is a sentimentalist afraid of himself.
