Don't ever become a pessimist... a pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun, and neither can stop the march of events.

I am an optimist, unrepentant and militant. After all, in order not to be a fool an optimist must know how sad a place the world can be. It is only the pessimist who finds this out anew every day.

All are optimists and pessimists
Solely optimists or solely pessimists
Are absent. An optimist in winter
And a pessimist in autumn one turns.
Optimists are youths and pessimist, the old.

Do not protest!
As it’s the best!
After doing nothing
To have a good rest.
***
A soul wants a picture,
An ass - an adventure.
***
I am always polite,
And think I am right.
When I send him to hell
I always recall and ask
If he is well.
***
There is something absolutely English
In the words like Polish, Spanish, Turkish…..
***
Take it as a rule:
Break pregnancy
Before the intimacy.
***
Alcohol kills slowly.
Don’t worry!
I am not in a hurry.
***
Pessimist thinks all women are whores.
Optimist that statement adores.
***
His bladder works like a good clock
But … without alarm it’s a shock.
