Cheerfulness Promotes Health

By Addison

Cheerfulness is the best promoter of health. Repinings, and murmurings of the heart, give imperceptible strokes to those delicate fibers of which the vital parts are composed, and wear out the machine. Cheerfulness is as friendly to the mind as to the body. It banishes all anxious care and discontent; soothes and composes the passions, and keeps the soul in a perpetual calm.—Addison.
