I found cheerfulness to be like life itself—not to be created by any argument. Afterwards I learned, that the best way to manage some kinds of painful thoughts, is to dare them to do their worst; to let them lie and gnaw at your heart till they are tired; and you find you still have a residue of life they cannot kill.
~ George MacDonald, Phantastes (Chapter VIII)
Guarding words from Scripture, poets, philosophers, the Book of Common Prayer, and the common man.
