Extremes of Optimism and Pessimism

There are two extremes into which men are running; 
one is extreme optimism, when everything is rosy and nice and good; 
the other, extreme pessimism, when everything seems to be against them. 

The majority of men have more or less undeveloped brains. 
One in a million we see with a well-developed brain; the rest either have peculiar idiosyncrasies, or are monomaniacs.
