"So if cheerfulness knocks at our door, we should throw it wide open, for it never comes inopportunely;... Cheerfulness is a direct and immediate gain, - the very coin, as it were, of happiness, and not, like all else, merely a cheque upon the bank; for it alone makes us immediately happy in the present moment, and that is the highest blessing for beings like us, whose existence is but an infinitesimal moment between two eternities. To secure and promote this feeling of cheerfulness should be the supreme aim of all our endeavors after happiness." - Arthur Schopenhauerhttp://www.geocities.com/golwis/
