Mirth
 
  Mirth is like a flash of lightning that breaks through a gloom of clouds and glitters for a moment. Cheerfulness keeps up a daylight in the mind, filling it with a steady and perpetual serenity.
            —Dr. Samuel Johnson		  1
  Mirth, like light, will all too often take its birth mid darkness and decay.
            —Letitia Elizabeth Landon		  2
