| A good laugh is sunshine in a house. I never knew whether to pity or congratulate a man on coming to his senses. The world is a looking glass, and gives back to every man the refletion of his own face. Frown at it and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind companion. |
