“A good laugh is sunshine in a house”
“Good morning, Sunshine.”
“Ain't no sunshine when she's gone and this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.”
“and what sunshine are you going to bring into our lives today? Shall we poison the well or burn the house down?”
“I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house."[Notebook, Oct. 10, 1842]”
“Truly a good horse, good ground to gallop on, and sunshine, make up the sum of enjoyable travelling.”
