Selected Quotes From: Cheerfulness As A Life Power

"The power of laughter was given to us to serve a wise purpose in our economy. It is Nature’s device for exercising the internal organs and giving us pleasure at the same time."

"Everybody avoids the company of those who are always grumbling, who are full of ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ and ‘I told you so’s.’ We like the man who always looks toward the sun, whether it shines or not."

"It is the cheerful, hopeful man we go to for sympathy and assistance; not the carping, gloomy critic, - who always thinks it is going to rain, or who is forever complaining of hard times and his hard lot. It is the cheerful man who makes his way, who is respected and admired."

- Orison Swett Marden

Excerpt From the Self-Help Classic... Cheerfulness As A Life Power

"HE ALONE IS THE HAPPY MAN who has learned to extract happiness, not from the ideal conditions, but from the actual ones about him.

The man who has mastered the secret will not wait for ideal surroundings; he will not wait until next year, next decade, until he gets rich, until he can travel abroad, until he can afford to surround himself with works of the great masters; but he will make the most out of life today, right where he is.

Paradise is here or nowhere. You must take your joy with you or you will never find it.

It is after business hours, not in them, that men and women break down. We must learn to turn the key on business once he leave it, and at once unlock the doors of some wholesome recreation.

Humor was Lincoln’s life-preserver, as it has been of thousands of others. ‘If it were not for his,’ he used to say, ‘I should die.’ His jests and quaint stories lighted the gloom of dark hours of national peril.

Gladstone early formed a habit of looking on the bright side of things and never lost a moment’s sleep by worrying about public business.

How true it is that, if we are cheerful and contented, all nature smiles with us, ‘ the air seems more balmy, the sky more clear, the earth has a brighter green, the trees have a richer foliage, the flowers are more fragrant, the birds sing more sweetly, and the sun, moon, and stars all appear more beautiful.

It is a grand thing to live, - to open the eyes in the morning and look out upon the world, to drink in the pure air and enjoy the sweet sunshine, to feel the pulse, with the consciousness of strength and power in every nerve; it is a good thing simply to be alive, an dit is a good world we live in, in spite of the abuse we are so fond of giving it.

Upon every side of us are to be found what one has happily called - unworked joy mines."

- Orison Swett Marden
