Laughter Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Laughter

1.
Laughter is the only tranquilizer with no side effects.
Graffiti

2.
If we may believe our logicians, man is distinguished from all other creatures by the faculty of laughter. He has a heart capable of mirth, and naturally disposed to it.
Addison, Joseph

3.
We cannot really love anybody with whom we never laugh.
Agnes Repplier

4.
No one is laughable who laughs at himself.
Seneca

5.
A hearty laugh gives one a dry cleaning, while a good cry is a wet wash.
Thomajan, Puzant Kevork

6.
Laughter is day, and sobriety is night; a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both, more bewitching than either.
Beecher, Henry Ward

7.
What provokes your risibility, Sir? Have I said anything that you understand? Then I ask pardon of the rest of the company.
Johnson, Samuel

8.
Laughter is the best way to make somebody's heart beat.
Holden, Robert

9.
In this life he laughs longest who laughs last.
John Masefield

10.
If you can laugh at it then you can live with it

11.
Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat and worry with laughter at your predicaments, thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously.
Mandino, Og

12.
If I am not allowed to laugh in heaven, I don't want to go there.
Luther, Martin

13.
We are a nation that has always gone in for the loud laugh, the wow, the yak, the belly laugh, and the dozen other labels for the roll- em-in-the-aisles gagerissimo. This is the kind of laugh that delights actors, directors, and producers, but dismays writers of comedy because it is the laugh that often dies in the lobby. The appreciative smile, the chuckle, the soundless mirth, so important to the success of comedy, cannot be understood unless one sits among the audience and feels the warmth created by the quality of laughter that the audience takes home with it.
Thurber, James

14.
If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane.
Jimmy Buffett

15.
Laughter is the tonic, the relief, the surcease for pain.
Chaplin, Charlie

16.
You can't deny laughter; when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants.
Stephen King

17.
The person who cannot laugh is not only ready for treason, and deceptions, their whole life is already a treason and deception.
Carlyle, Thomas

18.
With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.
Lincoln, Abraham

19.
Man is distinguished from all other creatures by the faculty of laughter.
Joseph Addison

20.
Most of the appearance of mirth in the world is not mirth, it is art. The wounded spirit is not seen, but walks under a disguise.
South, Bishop Robert

21.
Nothing can confound a wise man more than laughter from a dunce.
Byron, Lord

22.
He who laughs, lasts!
Mary Pettibone Poole

23.
The more laws, the more offenders.
Fuller, Thomas

24.
Laughter is by definition healthy.
Doris Lessing

25.
There exists a kind of laughter which is worthy to be ranked with the higher lyric emotions and is infinitely different from the twitching of a mean merrymaker.
Gogol, Nikolai Vasilyevich

26.
There comes a time when suddenly you realize that laughter is something you remember and that you were the one laughing.
Dietrich, Marlene

27.
One should take good care not to grow too wise for so great a pleasure of life as laughter.
Addison, Joseph

28.
The more you find out about the world, the more opportunities there are to laugh at it.
Bill Nye

29.
Laughter, while it lasts, slackens and unbraces the mind, weakens the faculties and causes a kind of remissness and dissolution in all the powers of the soul; and thus it may be looked on as weakness in the composition of human nature. But if we consider the frequent relieves we receive from it and how often it breaks the gloom which is apt to depress the mind and damp our spirits, with transient, unexpected gleams of joy, one would take care not to grow too wise for so great a pleasure of life.
Chazal, Malcolm De

30.
Laughter -- An interior convulsion, producing a distortion of the features and accompanied by inarticulate noises. It is infectious and, though intermittent, incurable.
Bierce, Ambrose

31.
A good laugh is sunshine in the house.
Thackeray, William M.

32.
She laughs at everything you say. Why? Because she has fine teeth.
Franklin, Benjamin

33.
They laugh well who laugh last.
Saying

34.
Total absence of humor renders life impossible.
Colette

35.
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.
e e cummings

36.
It ain't sin if you crack a few laws now and then, just so long as you don't break any.
West, Mae

37.
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 humor. It is naked noise and naked malice.
Peake, Mervyn

38.
Laughter on American television has taken the place of the chorus in Greek tragedy. In other countries, the business of laughing is left to the viewers. Here, their laughter is put on the screen, integrated into the show. It is the screen that is laughing and having a good time. You are simply left alone with your consternation.
Baudrillard, Jean

39.
It is more fitting for a man to laugh at life than to lament over it.
Seneca

40.
If you like a man's laugh before you know anything of him, you may say with confidence that he is a good man.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

41.
Laugh at yourself first, before anyone else can.
Elsa Maxwell

42.
There is a form of laughter that springs from the heart, heard every day in the merry voice of childhood, the expression of a laughter -- loving spirit that defies analysis by the philosopher, which has nothing rigid or mechanical in it, and totally without social significance. Bubbling spontaneously from the heart of child or man. Without egotism and full of feeling, laughter is the music of life.
Osler, Sir William

43.
The sound of laughter is like the vaulted dome of a temple of happiness.
Kundera, Milan

44.
One doesn't have a sense of humor. It has you.
Larry Gelbart

45.
Laughter is inner jogging.
Norman Cousins

46.
I am persuaded that every time a man smiles, but much more so when he laughs, it adds something to this fragment of life.
Sterne, Laurence

47.
Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.
Bob Newhart

48.
We don't laugh because we're happy -- we're happy because we laugh.
James, William

49.
There is nothing worth the wear of winning, but laughter and the love of friends.
Boswell, James

50.
The best way to make your audience laugh is to start laughing yourself.
Goldsmith, Oliver
