Motivational Quotes
Laughter
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.
Best Quotes about Laughter
Him, who incessantly laughs in the street, you may commonly hear grumbling in his closet.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
You can't deny laughter; when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants.
Stephen King
You enjoy it more if you can laugh at it.
We cannot really love anybody with whom we never laugh.
Agnes Repplier
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
The burden of the self is lightened with I laugh at myself.
Tagore, Rabindranath
If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you grow old.
Howe, Edgar Watson

No one is more profoundly sad as one who laughs too much.

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

Graffiti
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist? An optimist laughs to forget, but a pessimist forgets to laugh.
Bodett, Tom
They laugh well who laugh last.
Saying
Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.
Bob Newhart
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
Laughter is by definition healthy.
Doris Lessing
Beware of too much laughter, for it deadens the mind and produces oblivion.
The Talmud
The more you find out about the world, the more opportunities there are to laugh at it.
Bill Nye
Total absence of humor renders life impossible.
Colette
It is easier to make people cry than to make them laugh.
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
There is nothing worth the wear of winning, but laughter and the love of friends.
Boswell, James
The shortest distance between two people is laughter.
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
Observe it, the vulgar often laugh, but never smile, whereas well-bred people often smile, and seldom or never laugh. A witty thing never excited laughter, it pleases only the mind and never distorts the countenance.
Chesterfield, Lord
He who laughs best today, will also laugh last.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Laughter -- An interior convulsion, producing a distortion of the features and accompanied by inarticulate noises. It is infectious and, though intermittent, incurable.
Bierce, Ambrose
You cannot be mad at somebody who makes you laugh - it's as simple as that.
Jay Leno
If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane.
Jimmy Buffett
With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.
Lincoln, Abraham
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
He who laughs, lasts!
Mary Pettibone Poole
The flower in the vase smiles, but no longer laughs.
Chazal, Malcolm De
I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter, the sound of which has always seemed to me to be the most civilized music in the world.
Peter Ustinov
Laughter is the tonic, the relief, the surcease for pain.
Chaplin, Charlie
The more laws, the more offenders.
Fuller, Thomas
Laughter is, after speech, the chief thing that holds society together.
Eastman, Max
One should take good care not to grow too wise for so great a pleasure of life as laughter.
Addison, Joseph
What provokes your risibility, Sir? Have I said anything that you understand? Then I ask pardon of the rest of the company.
Johnson, Samuel

Thurber, James
Laughter is the greatest weapon we have and we, as humans, use it the least.
Twain, Mark
A man isn't poor if he can still laugh.
Hitchcock, Raymond
To promote laughter without joining in it greatly heightens the effect.
Balzac, Honore De
Laughter does not seem to be a sin, but it leads to sin.
Chrysosatom, St. John
Laughter is a highly addictive positive contagious: if somebody starts, it's very difficult to stop.
Holden, Robert
Every new time will give its law.
Gorky, Maxim
A hearty laugh gives one a dry cleaning, while a good cry is a wet wash.
Thomajan, Puzant Kevork
It ain't sin if you crack a few laws now and then, just so long as you don't break any.
West, Mae
I always knew I would look back at the times I'd cried and laugh, but I never knew that I'd look back at the times I'd laughed and cry.
Prowdzik, Shaun
