GOOD HUMOR

Greville, Lord
Good humor will sometimes conquer ill humor, but ill humor will conquer it oftener; and for this plain reason, good humor must operate on generosity; ill humor on meanness.

Irving, Washington
Honest good humor is the oil and wine of a merry meeting, and there is no jovial companionship equal to that where the jokes are rather small, and the laughter abundant.

Pope, Alexander
Some people are commended for a giddy kind of good humor, which is no more a virtue than drunkenness.

Stanislas, Leszinski
Good humor is the health of the soul; sadness is its poison.

Steele, Sir Richard
This portable quality of good humor seasons all the parts and occurrences we meet with in such a manner that there are no moments lost, but they all pass with so much satisfaction that the heaviest of loads, when it is a load, that of time, is never felt by us.
