Quote

I think I'm less gloomy than I used to be - I've got a very supportive other half.

I am in the world feeling my way to light 'amid the encircling gloom.'

I get a bit gloomy when it's gloomy.

You find yourself refreshed in the presence of cheerful people. Why not make an honest effort to confer that pleasure on others? Half the battle is gained if you never allow yourself to say anything gloomy.

Remember that happiness is as contagious as gloom. It should be the first duty of those who are happy to let others know of their gladness.

Let your minds be filled with the goal of being like the Lord, and you will crowd out depressing thoughts as you anxiously seek to know Him and do His will.

Turn your attention for a while away from the worries and anxieties. Remind yourself of all your many blessings.

May God protect me from gloomy saints.

Be good, keep your feet dry, your eyes open, your heart at peace and your soul in the joy of Christ.

Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.
