So of cheerfulness, or a good temper--the more it is spent, the more of it remains. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
The plainest sign of wisdom is continual cheerfulness: her state is like that of things in the regions above the moon, always clear and serene. ~Michel De Montaigne~
No man is happy who does not think himself so. ~Publilius Syrus~
When I turn around and think for an instant that I am alone, Blessings of love and friends from the God of all creation rain around, within, throughout that moment. I smile knowing I am drenched with such a merciful love. How very thankful I am to have good friends. ~Julie, The Peaceable Poet~
