Best Quotes about Laughter

1.
We laugh a lot. That's for sure. Sure beats the alternative, doesn't it?
Betty White

2.
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

3.

I want someone to laugh with me, someone to be grave with me, someone to please me and help my discrimination with his or her own remark, and at times, no doubt, to admire my acuteness and penetration.
Burns, Robert

Beware of too much laughter, for it deadens the mind and produces oblivion.
The Talmud

Twain, Mark

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

The malicious sneer is improperly called laughter.
Goldsmith, Oliver

32.
Laughter is the only tranquilizer with no side effects.
Graffiti

33.
To promote laughter without joining in it greatly heightens the effect.
Balzac, Honore De

34.
People who laugh actually live longer than those who don't laugh. Few persons realize that health actually varies according to the amount of laughter.
Walsh, Dr. James A

43.
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

44.
We cannot really love anybody with whom we never laugh.
Agnes Repplier

45.
Nothing can confound a wise man more than laughter from a dunce.

One horse-laugh is worth ten thousand syllogisms. It is not only more effective; it is also vastly more intelligent.
Mencken, H. L.

48.
Laughter does not seem to be a sin, but it leads to sin.
Chrysosatom, St. John

Laughter is inner jogging.
Norman Cousins

50.
There is nothing worth the wear of winning, but laughter and the love of friends.
Boswell, James
