POSITIVENESS [ Also see Bigotry Confidence Decision Dogmatism Doubt Fanaticism Firmness Oaths Resolution ] The most positive men are the most credulous, since they most believe themselves, and advise most with their falsest flatterer and worst enemy--their own self-love.       - Alexander Pope Positiveness is a most absurd foible. If you are in the right, it lessens your triumph; if in the wrong, it adds shame to your defeat.       - Laurence Sterne Positiveness is a good quality for preachers and orators, because whoever would obtrude his thoughts and reasons upon a multitude will convince others the more, as he appears convinced himself.       - Jonathan Swift They can, who think they can.   [Lat., Possunt, quia posse videntur.]       - Virgil or Vergil (Publius Virgilius Maro Vergil) Every one of his opinions appears to himself to be written with sunbeams.       - Isaac Watts Last Revised: 2008 April 9 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
