Excerpt from A Happy Life
Laugh if you' are wise; be contented if it kills you, is the advice of both an ancient phi losopher and a modern author. Gaiety of heart, smiling cheer fulness, a keen sense of the ridio nlous, combined with the abil ity to take good-naturedly a joke on one's self,-things which do not always go together, - are priceless possessions.
