  5. A quotation from Joseph Addison

    Cheerfulness is, in the first place, the best promoter of health. Repinings, and secret murmurs of heart, give imperceptible strokes to those delicate fibres of which the vital parts are composed, and wear out the machine insensibly; not to mention those violent ferments which they stir up in the blood, and those irregular disturbed motions which they raise in the animal spirits.

    Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
    Essay (1712-05-24), The Spectator, No. 387

  6. A quotation from Josh Billings

    Cheerfullness makes the plainest features butiful, the severest winter agreeable; it elevates the lowly, and adds a charm tew grateness, all its own.
     
    [Cheerfulness makes the plainest features beautiful, the severest winter agreeable; it elevates the lowly, and adds a charm to greatness.]

    Josh Billings (1818-1885) American humorist, aphorist [pseud. of Henry Wheeler Shaw]
    Everybody’s Friend, Or; Josh Billing’s Encyclopedia and Proverbial Philosophy of Wit and Humor, ch. 281 “Variety: Bred and Butter” (1874)

  7. A quotation from Addison

    Good-nature is more agreeable in conversation than wit, and gives a certain air to the countenance which is more amiable than beauty. It shows virtue in the fairest light, takes off in some measure from the deformity of vice, and makes even folly and impertinence supportable.

    Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
    Essay (1711-09-13), The Spectator, No. 169

  8. A quotation from Joseph Addison

    I have always preferred cheerfulness to mirth. The latter I consider as an act, the former as an habit of mind. Mirth is short and transient, cheerfulness fixed and permanent. Those are often raised into the greatest transports of mirth who are subject to the greatest depressions of melancholy. On the contrary, cheerfulness, though it does not give the mind such an exquisite gladness, prevents us from falling into any depths of sorrow. Mirth is like a flash of lightning, that breaks through a gloom of clouds, and glitters for a moment; cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity.

    Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
    Essay (1712-05-17), The Spectator, No. 381

  10. Nationwide, just over a million children, mostly girls, participate in #cheer each year
    (some estimates are even higher),
    more than the number who play softball or lacrosse.

    And almost every part of that world is dominated by a single company: #Varsity #Spirit.
    It’s hard to cheer at the youth, high school or collegiate level without putting money in the company’s pocket.
    Varsity operates summer camps where children learn to do stunts and perform;
    it hosts events where they compete;
    it sells pom-poms they shake and uniforms they wear on the sidelines of high school and college football games.

    Each year, Varsity ships 4.6 million pieces of apparel,
    from $80 leopard-print “Cheer Mom” fleeces to custom uniforms covered in Swarovski crystals.

    Critics like Matt Stoller, an antitrust expert and the research director of the American Economic Liberties Project,
    claim that the cheer giant is a #monopolist whose dominance in its area rivals that of Google in tech
    and has had negative impacts for participants and their families.

    Varsity, based in Memphis, generates hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue,
    with gross profit margins at times topping 40 percent,
    making the company a cash cow for a series of private-equity owners.

    Parents have reported spending upward of $10,000 a year per child in competitive cheer,
    with Varsity controlling, by some estimates, more than 80 percent of that market.

    #Jeff #Webb, the man who founded Varsity, has been called “John D. Rockefeller with glitter”
    and the “Dark Sith Lord” of cheer
    by some of his detractors.

    Webb, now in his 70s, pioneered the gravity-defying acrobatics of modern cheer.

    He paired his innovations with a desire for control over every facet of the sport, which he pursued over the course of more than four decades

  15. A quotation from Colton, Charles Caleb:

    «
    A harmless hilarity and a buoyant cheerfulness are not infrequent concomitants of genius; and we are never more deceived than when we mistake gravity for greatness, solemnity for science, and pomposity for erudition.
