The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. ~e.e. cummings
Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern
A pessimist sees only the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides, and shrugs; an optimist doesn't see the clouds at all - he's walking on them. ~Leonard Louis Levinson
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves. ~Bill Vaughan
A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties. ~Harry Truman
The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself. ~Benjamin Franklin
Mirth is God's medicine. Everybody ought to bathe in it. ~Henry Ward Beecher

I love the first and last sky pictures...love your skies.
Ben Franklin sure had a way with words. I'm gonna go out and catch some happiness! He's right!
oooh, bathing in mirth, I like that one!
beautiful quotes and landscapes, a nice way to go to sleep for the night!
I guess there is a lot to be said about having the right attitude. Then again all the right positive thoughts may have little effect on an outcome. I guess if it did, we could will winning the lottery!
As usual, great pictures and quotes.
I love Bill Vaughan's quote about the new year. I must be a little of both.
Wonderful combination of photos & quotes.
Thank God for the pessimist who invented the parachute!
I love the pretty sky.
