I had rather have a fool make me merry, than experience make me sad.
What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. They are but trifles, to be sure; but. Scattered along life’s pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.
A cheerful temper joined with innocence will make beauty attractive, knowledge delightful, and wit good-natured. It will lighten sickness, poverty, and affliction; convert ignorance into an amiable simplicity, and render deformity itself agreeable.
Oh, give us the man who sings at his work.
The highest wisdom is continual cheerfulness; such a state, like the region above the moon, is always clear and serene.
Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and it s power of endurance the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it better, will preserve in it longer, than the sad or sullen.
Honest good humor is the oil and wine of a merry meeting, and there is no jovial companionship equal to that where the jokes are rather small and the laughter abundant.
Cheerfulness is as natural to the heart of a man is strong health, as color to his cheek; and wherever there is habitual gloom, there must be either bad air, unwholesome food, improperly severe labor, or erring habits of life.
Be cheerful always. There is no path but will be easier traveled, no load but will be lighter, no shadow on heart and brain but will lift sooner for a person of determined cheerfulness.
Get into the habit of looking for the silver lining of the cloud, and when you have found it, continue to look at it, rather than at the leaden gray in the middle. It will help you over many hard places.
To be free-minded and cheerfully disposed at hours of meals, and of sleep, and of exercise, is one of the best precepts of long lasting.
A light heart living long.
Cheerfulness is health; its opposite, melancholy, is disease.
If my heart were not light, I would die,
If the soul be happily disposed every thing becomes capable of affording entertainment, and distress will almost want a name.
The true source of cheerfulness is benevolence. The soul that perpetually overflows with kindness and sympathy will always be cheerful.
Climate has much to do with cheerfulness, but nourishing food, a good, digestion, and good health much more.
If good people would but make their goodness agreeable, and smile instead of frowning in their virtue, how many would they win to the good cause.
An ounce of cheerfulness is worth a pound of sadness to serve God with.
God is glorified, not by our groans but by our thanksgivings; and all good thought and good action claim a natural alliance with good cheer.
I have always preferred cheerfulness to mirth. The former is an act, the latter habit of the mind;. Mirth is short and transient; cheerfulness, fixed and permanent. Mirth is like a flash of lightning that breaks through a gloom of clouds, and glitters for a moment. Cheerfulness keeps up a king of day light in the mind, filling it with a steady and perpetual serenity.
Shakespeare.
