The eyes have a property in things and territories not named in any title-deeds, and are the owners of our choicest possessions.
Amos Bronson AlcottGood-humor, gay spirits, are the liberators, the sure cure for spleen and melancholy. Deeper than tears, these irradiate the tophets with their glad heavens. Go laugh, vent the pits, transmuting imps into angels by the alchemy of smiles. The satans flee at the sight of these redeemers.
Amos Bronson Alcott
