attitude of
Dr.
Pangloss, the
old tutor to the hero in the satire Candide, (subtitled "Optimism") by
Voltaire (
French philosopher, poet, dramatist and author, 1694@1778).

reiterated "all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds." Because I assure you it's all for the best in this best of all possible
universes. iOpening Lecture (1
