[GMW #4639]Cultivate Hope And Optimism

[GMW #4639]Cultivate Hope And Optimism
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000

~ Idea 6024 to 6028~
A few quotations from my compatriot Albert Schweitzer from Alsace-Lorraine, a province of France on the border with Germany.

Idea 6024  “When I am asked if I am a pessimist or an optimist I answer: my knowledge is pessimistic, but my will and hope are optimistic.”

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II - The Art of Personal Happy Living
Chapter 10 - Of Dreams, Visions and Ideals

I am surrounded in my office by busts of famous peacemakers: Jesus, Gandhi, Schweitzer, Dag Hammarskjöld, U Thant, Saint Francis. Why? Because I want them to inspire me. If I were surrounded by busts of Nero, Gengis Khan, Napoleon, Stalin and Hitler, I would be a different person.

Similarly, in Peace Park of the UN University for Peace in Costa Rica, students and professors are surrounded by busts, statues and images of the world's greatest peacemakers to continue their work and keep their dreams alive.
