Eradicate the optimist <br />who takes the easy view <br />that human values will persist <br />no matter what we do. <br />Annihilate the pessimist <br />whose ineffectual cry <br />is that the goal's already missed <br />however hard we try.<br /><br />Piet Hein<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/two-passivists/
