  9. 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.)]

  10. A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

    How much lies in Laughter: the cipher-key, wherewith we decipher the whole man! Some men wear an everlasting barren simper; in the smile of others lies a cold glitter as of ice: the fewest are able to laugh, what can be called laughing, but only sniff and titter and snigger from the throat outwards; or at best, produce some whiffling husky cachinnation, as if they were laughing through wool: of none such comes good. The man who cannot laugh is not only fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils; but his whole life is already a treason and a stratagem.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Sartor Resartus, Book 1, ch. 4 (1834)

  11. A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

    No man who has once heartily and wholly laughed can be altogether irreclaimably bad.

    Sartor Resartus, Book 1, ch. 4 (1834)

  12. 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

  13. A quotation from Will Rogers

    And, when the votes are counted, let everybody, including the candidates, get into a good humor as quick as they got into a bad one.

    Column (1932-11-07), “Daily Telegram”

  14. #Unilever who controls 5 of the world's top 10 selling #IceCream brands is looking to unload its entire frozen treats portfolio. Perhaps dealing with iconoclastic Ben & Jerry's insistence on #Boycott of sales in the occupied territories just tired the #Rotterdam based brand aggregator out, but they have directed a legal team to shed their sweet frozen treats portfolio including names like #Popsicle , #Klondike #Breyers, #Magnum, #Cornetto #Walls #Talenti and #GoodHumor that do close to $8 billion a year in sales.

  17. 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.

  18. *hyperventilating* 🥵

    Say it isn’t so!!! I just heard that the reason I haven’t been able to find #GoodHumor #ToastedAlmondbar is because it’s been discontinued.

    First the #ChocoTaco and now this?!

    :NekoLay: Somebody tell me it’s a bad dream 💭

    At least there’s still the drink! 🍹

    Toasted Almond
    • 5 oz half and half
    • 1 jigger Amaretti di Saronno
    • 1 jigger Kahlua

    Shake with ice. Pour into a tall glass.
