When I was a student, I studied philosophy and religion. I talked about being patient. Some people say I was too hopeful, too optimistic, but you have to be optimistic just in keeping with the philosophy of non-violence.
If you're not hopeful and optimistic, then you just give up. You have to take that long hard look and just believe that if your consistent, you will succeed
In spite of all of the things, the issues, that we may be confronting today, I'm very hopeful, very optimistic about the future.
I think all Americans should be hopeful, and try to be optimistic.
But you have to have hope. You have to be optimistic in order to continue to move forward.
