  10. "Nichts ist seines Lohns sicherer als die Heiterkeit: denn bei ihr ist Lohn und Tat eines... Ist also Heiterkeit das Gut, welches alle andern ersetzen, selbst aber durch keines ersetzt werden kann; so sollten wir die Erwerbung dieses Guts jedem andern Trachten vorsetzen."
    Arthur Schopenhauer - geboren am 22. Februar 1788 in Danzig, heute vor 238 Jahren

  11. A quotation from Colette

    It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
     
    [Il n’est pas mauvais que les enfants remettent de temps en temps, avec politesse, les parents à leur place.]

    Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954) French writer
    My Mother’s House [La Maison de Claudine], “The Priest on the Wall [Le curé sur le mur]” (1922) [tr. Troubridge/McLeod (1949)]

  15. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    Kindness is invincible, if it be sincere and not hypocritical or a mere facade. For what can the most insulting of people do to you if you are consistently kind to him, and, when the occasion allows, gently advise him and quietly put him on the proper course at the very time when he is attempting to do you a mischief. “No, my son, we were born for something other than this; it is not I who am harmed, it is you, my son, who are causing harm to yourself.”
     
    [τὸ εὐμενὲς ἀνίκητον, ἐὰν γνήσιον ᾖ καὶ μὴ σεσηρὸς μηδὲ ὑπόκρισις. τί γάρ σοι ποιήσει ὁ ὑβριστικώτατος, ἐὰν διατελῇς εὐμενὴς αὐτῷ καί, εἰ οὕτως ἔτυχε, πρᾴως παραινῇς καὶ μεταδιδάσκῃς εὐσχολῶν παῤ αὐτὸν ἐκεῖνον τὸν καιρὸν ὅτε κακοποιεῖν σε ἐπιχειρεῖ: ῾μή, τέκνον: πρὸς ἄλλο πεφύκαμεν. ἐγὼ μὲν οὐ μὴ βλαβῶ, σὺ δὲ βλάπτῃ, τέκνον.᾿]

    Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
    Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 11, ch. 18 (11.18) (AD 161-180) [tr. Hard (1997 ed.)]

  19. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    A happy man or woman is a better thing to find than a five-pound note. He or she is a radiating focus of goodwill; and their entrance into a room is as though another candle had been lighted. We need not care whether they could prove the forty-seventh proposition; they do a better thing than that, they practically demonstrate the great Theorem of the Liveableness of Life.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1877-07), “An Apology for Idlers,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 36

  21. A quotation from John Heywood (and a Happy New Year to all!)

    Let the world slide, let the world go:
    A fig for care, and a fig for woe!
    If I can’t pay, why, I can owe;
    And death makes equal the high and low.
                                  Be merry, friends!

    John Heywood (1497?-1580?) English playwright and epigrammist
    Ballad (1576), “Be Merry Friends,” st. 17

  29. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy, we sow anonymous benefits upon the world, which remain unknown even to ourselves, or when they are disclosed, surprise nobody so much as the benefactor.

  33. 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

  34. 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

  42. 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.

  45. 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
