Give us O give us the man who sings at his work! Be his occupation what it may he is equal to any of those who follow the same pursuit in silent sullenness. He will do more in the same time … he will do it better … he will persevere longer. One is scarcely sensible to fatigue while he marches to music. The very stars are said to make harmony as they revolve in their spheres.
You find yourself refreshed by the presence of cheerful people. Why not make earnest effort to confer that pleasure on others? Half the battle is gained if you never allow yourself to say anything gloomy.
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Lifes longing for itself… You may house their bodies but not their souls for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow which you cannot visit not even in your dreams.
Worry affects the circulation the heart the glands the whole nervous system and profoundly affects the health. I have never known a man who died from overwork but many who died from doubt.
Cheerfulness is as natural to the heart of a man in 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.
Cheerfulness removes the rust from the mind lubricates our inward machinery and enables us to do our work with fewer creaks and groans. If people were universally cheerful there wouldnt be half the quarreling or a tenth part of the wickedness there is. Cheerfulness too promotes health and morality. Cheerful people live longest here on earth afterward in our hearts.
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
A good laugh is sunshine in a house.

Even if we cant be happy we must always be cheerful.
Health is the condition of wisdom and the sign is cheerfulness an open and noble temper.
A cheerful face is nearly as good for an invalid as healthy weather.
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Lifes longing for itself… You may house their bodies but not their souls for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow which you cannot visit not even in your dreams.
It is worth a thousand pounds a year to have the habit of looking on the bright side of things.
Cheer up the worst is yet to come.
Worry affects the circulation the heart the glands the whole nervous system and profoundly affects the health. I have never known a man who died from overwork but many who died from doubt.
The most manifest sign of wisdom is continued cheerfulness.

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Continual cheerfulness is a sign of wisdom.
