GAYETY
-
Gayety is often the reckless ripple over depths of despair.—E. H. GHAPIN
-
Gayety is not a proof that the heart is at ease, for often in the midst of laughter the heart is sad.—MME. DE GENLIS
-
The gayety of the wicked is like the flowery surface of Mount Aetna, beneath which materials are gathering for an eruption that will one day reduce all its beauties to ruin and desolation.—LEIGH HUNT
-
Leaves seem light, useless, idle, wavering, and changeable—they even dance; yet God has made them part of the oak. So he has given us a lesson, not to deny stout-heartedness within, because we see lightsomeness without.—LEIGH HUNT
-
Gayety is to good humor, as animal perfumes to vegetable fragrance: the one overpowers weak spirits, the other recreates and revives them.—SAMUEL JOHNSON
