Cheerfulness

Be as cheerful as you can in well-doing, for there is a certain grace in good deeds when they are done cheerfully.

-- St. Francis de Sales

The best advertisment Catholics can give for their religion is to be bright and cheery.

-- Father Bernard Vaughan, SJ

A genial man is both an apostle and an evangelist; an apostle because he brings men to Christ, an evangelist because he portrays Christ to me.

-- Father Faber
