Cheerfulness

« Cheerfulness is mora precious than great riches. If I were founding a new religion, its first commandment should be "Thou shalt *oe cheerful." If 1 were instituting a new school of medicine, it fundamental principle would be: Cheerfulness on the part of the doctor, and for the patient good cheer For in the symphony of life much gold without cheerfulness is aa sounding brass and clanging cymbal. .Religion without cheerfulness is a mookery. Success in the cure of most maladies depends upon faith and hope and cheerfulness. .The optimist is cheerfulness personified; the pessimist a walking grouch. The cheerful optimist makes the progress of humanity; the growing pessimist would turn back the wheel of time. Ah as with pessimism! Let cheerfulness reign supreme I—Emory Lanphekr, M.iD.
