"Please do not be cynical.

I hate cynicism.

For the record, it's my least favorite quality.

It doesn't lead anywhere.

Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get.

But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.

I’m telling you, amazing things will happen.

I’m telling you.

It’s just true."

— Conan O'Brien, January 25, 2010; final words on his last episode hosting The Tonight Show
