If you can't be cheerful, be as cheerful as you can.

At this unprecedented juncture in our history I have a word for you. Do not be disheartened by our temporary defeat be cheerful and optimistic. Above all, never lose your faith in the destiny of India. There is no power on earth which can keep India in bondage. India will be free and, that too, soon. JAl-HIND !
Subhas Chandra Bose

In the bonds of Death He lay Who for our offence was slain But the Lord is risen to-day, Christ hath brought us life again, Wherefore let us all rejoice, Singing loud, with cheerful voice, Hallelujah!
Martin Luther

Fits of depression come over the most of us. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down. The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
This is the twilight of the banks. It would be a more cheerful spectacle if we could envision the dawn of the institutions that will replace them
Martin Mayer
Image
It is already possible to imagine a society in which the majority of the population, that is to say, its laborers, will have almost as much leisure as in earlier times was enjoyed by the aristocracy. When one recalls how aristocracies in the past actually behaved, the prospect is not cheerful.
W. H. Auden
Image
Don’t fail through defects of temper and over-sensitiveness at moments of trial. One of the great helps to success is to be cheerful to go to work with a full sense of life to be determined to put hindrances out of the way to prevail over them and to get the mastery. Above all things else, be cheerful there is no beatitude for the despairing.
Amelia Barr

Virgil
Image
Curiosity endows the people who have it with a generosity in argument and a serenity in their own mode of life which springs from their cheerful willingness to let life take the form it will.
Alistair Cooke
Image
Helped are those who create anything at all, for they shall relive the thrill of their own conception and realize a partnership in the creation of the Universe that keeps them responsible and cheerful.
Alice Walker
Image
A cheerful demeanor makes brighter the day as the sun, chasing darkness and sorrow away.
Wes Fesler

For life, good youth, hath never an illWhich hope cannot scatter, and faith cannot killAnd stubborn realities never shall bindThe free-spreading wings of a cheerful mind.
Martin Farquhar Tupper
Image
Everyone must have felt that a cheerful friend is like a sunny day, which sheds its brightness on all around and most of us can, as we choose, make of this world either a palace or a prison.
John Lubbock
Image
You may have gathered that I am not the most cheerful of revellers - some characterise me as the death and soullessness of any party but it wasn't always so, believe me.
Will Self
Image
Oh! blest with temper, whose unclouded ray Can make to-morrow cheerful as to-day.
Alexander Pope
Image
I gazed upon the glorious sky And the green mountains round, And thought that when I came to lie At rest within the ground, 'Twere pleasant, that in flowery June When brooks send up a cheerful tune, And groves a joyous sound, The sexton's hand, my grave to make, The rich, green mountain-turf should break.
William C. Bryant
Image
Love is a very contradiction of all the elements of our ordinary nature -- it makes the proud man meek -- the cheerful, sad -- the high-spirited, tame our strongest resolutions, our hardiest energy fail before it. Believe me, you cannot prophesy of its future effect in a man from any knowledge of his past character.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Image
I think that the point of being an architect is to help raise the experience of everyday living, even a little. Putting a window where people would really like one. Making sure a shaving mirror in a hotel bathroom is at the right angle. Making bureaucratic buildings that are somehow cheerful.
David Chipperfield
Image
The cheerful loser is a sort of winner.
William Howard Taft
Image
The eyes of the cheerful and of the melancholy man are fixed upon the same creation but very different are the aspects which it bears to them.
Albert Pike
Image
Care more for the individual patient than for the special features of the disease. . . . Put yourself in his place . . . The kindly word, the cheerful greeting, the sympathetic look - these the patient understands.
William Osler
Image
Cheerfulness, it would appear, is a matter which depends fully as much on the state of things within, as on the state of things without and around us.
Charlotte Bronte
Image
A goodly portly man, i' faith, and a corpulent of a cheerful look, a pleasing eye, and a most noble carriage and, as I think, his age some fifty, or, by'r Lady, inclining to threescore and now I remember me, his name is Falstaff.
William Shakespeare
Image
If a man must make himself appear cheerful he must know why he is miserable.
