Lincoln called laughter "the joyous, beautiful, universal evergreen of life."
Freedom is the last, best hope of earth.
I am nothing, truth is everything.
And while it has not pleased the Almighty to bless us with a return of peace, we can but press on, guided by the best light He gives, trusting that in His own good time, and wise way, all will yet be well.
Most people are as happy as they want to be.
I laugh because I must not cry, that is all, that is all.
