I don't consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin.

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.

The difference between an optimist and a pessimist? An optimist laughs to forget, but a pessimist forgets to laugh.

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.

A passing thought.
An optimistic pessimist.
An oxymoron without doubt
and yet such crazy thoughts persist.
Something for me to think about.
As I consider carefully.
A pessimist who hopes he’s right
is thinking optimistically.
Though what that proves I do not know.
Except I think it could be so.
Though everybody won’t agree.

Adonija
Midday passed and you still failed to show up,
But i was still soaked in the rain waiting for you;
And, why should i believe you again when you say: 'I love you'?
I am Adonija and,
Why should i believe in you again? !
For i was soaked in the rain waiting for you all day long;
And, you failed to turn up as appointed.

If a pessimist is always right, is he a realist?
A pessimist is never disappointed.
