A cheerful temper joined with innocence will make beauty attractive, knowledge delightful and wit good-natured. It will lighten sickness, poverty and affliction, convert ignorance into an amiable simplicity, and render deformity itself agreeable.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
The Tatler, #192 (1 Jul 1710)
