Blue Quote by William Proxmire

“The last few years have been my happiest. I'm happy in the years that most people are blue and sad and waiting to die. I don't feel that a bit. Smiling has a lot to do with it. You can just lift your spirits by smiling a little bit.” quote by William Proxmire — Download Open image
