美国作家詹姆斯·巴克海姆曾这样回忆一个人：“有一个老人十分有趣，每天早晨，他都会乘8点30分的火车去小镇。我不知道他叫什么，可我是镇上最了解他的人。只要老人进入你的视线，他就会向你传达快乐。老人总是一副笑意融融的样子，我几乎没有听过他说话，可一旦开口，他的语气肯定十分和蔼、谦逊、慈祥。路过的人都会向老人点头打招呼，甚至陌生人也是一样；老人也向所有人点头回敬，但从未显现出丝毫的做作或不敬之意。在阳光灿烂的日子，他那令人欢快的问候声会使天气愈加明媚；换作是雨天的话，他提到天气时的乐观语气则如同彩虹一样美丽。”
美国医学家惠普尔说：“有些与生俱来的亲切感本身就是一种财富。”有一些人，不管身在何处，阳光都会跟随着他们的步履；这里的阳光意味着对穷人的怜悯、对痛苦者的同情、对不幸者的帮助以及对所有人的仁慈。
每个人都喜欢阳光乐观的人：他的笑脸就是万能的护照，所有的大门都为他开启；他能送走骄傲与妒忌，因为他赋予每一个人好心情；所有家庭像喜欢阳光一样喜欢他。
在自己的回忆录里，英国作家卡莱尔曾关注过苏格兰宗教改革运动领袖爱德华·欧文乐观向上的性格：“他十分沉静、乐观、亲切。他的心灵仿佛镜子一般平滑、清亮，他真心地爱他人，也被他人所爱；欧文的话语在我的耳中就是满怀希望和幸福感的声音。”
