• To be hopeful in bad times is based on the fact that human history is not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand Utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.

  Howard Zinn

• I'm an optimist.
  I've always believed the future is going to be better than the past.
  And I also believe I have a role in that.
  The great thing about human beings, myself in particular, is that I can change.
  I can do better.
  If you can get up every day, stay optimistic, and believe the future is better than the past, those few things get you through a lot of tough times.
