His best known phrase is: "All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds" He was the quintessential optimist to a fault.

Candide could comfortably be considered an early example of satire and a classic of western literature. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candide -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
