pessimists, optimists and opportunists

“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”
Winston Churchill (in case there's someone out there who doesn't know who he was... British Orator, Author and Prime Minister during World War II. 1874-1965)

On being told he's a hopeless drunk, he's said to have retorted “I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.”

And to Lady Nancy Astor....
she said: "Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea.
he said: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.”
