Indeed it is possible to stand with one foot on the inevitable 'banana peel' of life with both eyes peering into the Great Beyond, and still be happy, comfortable, and serene - if we will even so much as smile.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My belief about acting in one foot on a banana peel and the other one in the grave.
Happiness, for you we walk on a knife edge. To the eyes you are a flickering light, to the feet, thin ice that cracks; and so may no one touch you who loves you.
Life is full of banana skins. You slip, you carry on.
We sometimes laugh from ear to ear, but it would be impossible for a smile to be wider than the distance between our eyes.
In a banana republic, one might slip on a banana peel but things do work - now and then for the people, albeit inefficiently and unreliably.
With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.
As long as you live keep smiling because it brightens everybody's day.
It is in vain to hope to please all alike. Let a man stand with his face in what direction he will, he must necessarily turn his back on one half of the world.
The greatest self is a peaceful smile, that always sees the world smiling back.
A face is too slight a foundation for happiness.
