Get correct views of life, and learn to see the world in its true light. It will enable you to live pleasantly, to do good, and, when summoned away, to leave without regret.

Be pleasant until ten o’clock in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself

Too much openness and you accept every notion, idea, and hypothesis-which is tantamount to knowing nothing. Too much skepticism-especially rejection of new ideas before they are adequately tested-and you’re not only unpleasantly grumpy, but also closed to the advance of science.

I’d rather be a pessimist because then I can only be pleasantly surprised.
