“The Federals "all cheer as one man...The Rebels cheer like a lot of school boys, every man for himself.”
“No one ever accepts criticism so cheerfully. Neither the man who utters it nor the man who invites it really means it.”
“Every honest man lives for himself. Every man worth calling a man lives for himself. The one who doesn't - doesn't live at all.”
“The man who finds that in the course of his life he has done a lot of wrong often wakes up at night in terror, like a child with a nightmare, and his life is full of foreboding: but the man who is conscious of no wrongdoing is filled with cheerfulness and with the comfort of old age.”
“Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance - the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it better, will preserve it longer, than the sad or sullen.”
“A boo is a lot louder than a cheer.”
