“We thought green was cheerful, but not too cheerful. Green was also serious.”
“I think sometimes people think cheerful is a synonym for dumb, so no one is ever cheerful.”
“We have a mission to others--to add to their cheer. This we cannot do unless we have first learned the lesson of cheerfulness ourselves.”
“The Federals "all cheer as one man...The Rebels cheer like a lot of school boys, every man for himself.”
