You can't reason yourself back into cheerfulness any more than you can reason yourself into an extra six inches in height.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
I'm basically quite a cheerful person.
It used to be that I wanted to be taller. Once I made 5-foot-1, I was happy.
I am 5'6' and desperately wish I was taller.
I am cheerful. I don't know if I'm happy. There is a difference, you know.
Thank God, I never was cheerful. I come from the happy stock of the Mathers, who, as you remember, passed sweet mornings reflecting on the goodness of God and the damnation of infants.
I'm six feet tall. No one realizes that because on 'The Daily Show' I'm usually sitting.
For me, being tall was very positive because I thought my mom was the most beautiful person ever.
I've been six feet tall since the sixth grade.
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.
