Gladness of heart is the very life of a person, and cheerfulness prolongs his days.
A joyful heart is a source of life, and a cheerful disposition lengthens one’s life span.
A joyful heart is life itself, and rejoicing lengthens one’s life span.
A joyful heart is life itself, and rejoicing lengthens one’s life span.
A joyful heart is life itself, and rejoicing lengthens one’s life span.
A joyful heart is life itself, and rejoicing lengthens one’s life span.
Gladness of heart is the life of man, and the rejoicing of a man is length of days.
Gladness of heart is the life of man, and the rejoicing of a man is length of days.
Mirth of heart, this is the life of man, and is (a) treasure of holiness without failing; and full out joying of a man is long life [or long living].
