“Laughter is a sunbeam of the soul.”

“Laughter for the soul, and wine for the body.”

“no sunbeam ever lies”

“The music in his laughter had a way of rounding off the missing notes in her soul.”

“The gay motes that people the sunbeams.”

“The keeping of bees is like the direction of sunbeams.”

“There is a kind of laughter that sickens the soul. Laughter when it is out of control: when it screams and stamps its feet, and sets the bells jangling in the next town. Laughter in all its ignorance and cruelty. Laughter with the seed of Satan in it. It tramples upon shrines; the belly-roarer. It roars, it yells, it is delirious: and yet it is as cold as ice. It has no humour. It is naked noise and naked malice.”

“It is with words as with sunbeams. The more they are condensed, the deeper they burn.”

“Truth is as impossible to be soiled by any outward touch as the sunbeam.”

“A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.”
