“A good laugh overcomes more difficulties and dissipates more dark clouds than any other one thing.”

“Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.”

“We all know that a sky with clouds in it is much more interesting than one that doesn’t have any.”

“Human minds are more full of mysteries than any written book and more changeable than the cloud shapes in the air.”

“Smile, for everyone lacks self-confidence and more than any other one thing a smile reassures them.”

“A good laugh is a mighty good thing, and rather too scarce a good thing; the more's the pity. So, if any one man, in his own proper person, afford stuff for a good joke to anybody, let him not be backward, but let him cheerfully allow himself to spend and be spent in that way. And the man that has anything bountifully laughable about him, be sure there is more in that man than you perhaps think for.”
