Cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind. - Joseph Addison

Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed.

Rais'd of themselves, their genuine charms they boast, And those who paint them truest praise them most.
