"Blessed are ye that have not seen, and yet have believed." - Helen Keller (Optimism)

"I can say with conviction that the struggle which evil necessitates is one of the greatest blessings. It makes us strong, patient, helpful men and women. It lets us into the soul of things and teaches us that although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail." - Helen Keller (Optimism)

I'd rather be alone and breathe easy than be with others and suffocate.

Life is a constant process of getting humbled.

Just be sincere, everything else is secondary.

"I can't wait to see this dream in which I'll be a child again and feel happy again. Because everything will be still ahead, everything will be possible." - (Mirror, 1975)

"I think it's good to keep silent for a while. Words can't express everything a person feels." - Aleksei (Mirror, 1975)

"For three things I thank God every day of my life--- that he has vouchsafed me knowledge of His Works, deep thanks that He has set in my darkness the lamp of faith, deep, deepest thanks that I have another life to look forward to--- a life joyous with light and flowers and heavenly song." - Helen Keller (We Bereaved)

"It is a mistake always to contemplate the good and ignore the evil, because by making people neglectful it lets in disaster. There is a dangerous optimism of ignorance and indifference. It is not enough to say that the twentieth century is the best age in the history of mankind, and to take refuge from the evils of the world in skyey dreams of good. How many good men, prosperous and contented, looked around and saw naught but good, while millions of their fellowmen were bartered and sold like cattle! I distrust the rash optimism that cries, 'Hurrah, we’re all right! This is the greatest nation on earth,' when there are grievances that call loudly for redress. That is false optimism. Optimism that does not count the cost is like a house builded on sand. A man must understand evil and be acquainted with sorrow before he can write himself an optimist and expect others to believe that he has reason for the faith that is in him." - Helen Keller (Optimism)

"Don't let one failure overshadow the skills you've worked so hard to cultivate. The best of us fall short of our abilities from time to time. You maintain a façade of stoic nonchalance, but feel burdened by the confidence your classmates place in you all the same. Few guess at your inner anguish, but it's there just beneath the surface. You're not alone in this. You give it a brave face, but you needn't bear the pressure on your own." - Koro-Sensei (Assassination Classroom)

"You are a good person and that is the most important thing. Even if no one appreciates you, it's important that you don't stop being good." - Bojack Horseman (Bojack Horseman)

"The difference between the novice and the master is that the master has failed more times than the novice has tried." - Koro-Sensei (Assassination Classroom)
