The person who can be only serious or only cheerful, is but half a man.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The happy man is not he who seems thus to others, but who seems thus to himself.
A man is what he thinks about all day long.
In civilized life, where the happiness and indeed almost the existence of man, depends on the opinion of his fellow men. He is constantly acting a studied part.
Man is only miserable so far as he thinks himself so.
A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy and nothing can stop him.
I'm basically quite a cheerful person.
It is not every man who can be exquisitely miserable, any more than exquisitely happy.
It is the working man who is the happy man. It is the idle man who is the miserable man.
While there is a chance of the world getting through its troubles, I hold that a reasonable man has to behave as though he were sure of it. If at the end your cheerfulness in not justified, at any rate you will have been cheerful.
A man's as miserable as he thinks he is.
