Fear breeds upon itself because it is a hermaphrodite capable of endless reproduction.

Miguel de Cervantes

It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.
