Smile!

“If we are to believe a venerable English diplomat, Ivan the Terrible attempted to teach my ancestors to smile by ordering that while he was out walking or riding “those he met should have their heads cut off if their faces did not please him”.
But even this decisive measure produced no results. We have remained gloomy by nature.
Anyone walking along with a cheerful expression on his face is pointed at – and the smile of love has split my features from ear to ear”

Anatoly Mariengof – (Cynics).
