Laugh at yourself first, before anybody else can.

Laugh and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone; For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, But has trouble enough of its own.

There is one kind of laugh that I always did recommend; it looks out of the eye first with a merry twinkle, then it creeps down on its hands and knees and plays around the mouth like a pretty moth around the blaze of a candle, then it steals over into the dimples of the cheeks and rides around in those whirlpools for a while, then it lights up the whole face like the mellow bloom on a damask rose, then it swims up on the air, with a peal as clear and as happy as a dinner-bell, then it goes back again on gold tiptoes like an angel out for an airing, and it lies down on its little bed of violets in the heart where it came from.

They're getting crazier every day, the whole world's going crazy. And you got to take your mind out to keep your smile in place.

Humor is a prelude to faith and Laughter is the beginning of prayer.

If you would not be laughed at, be the first to laugh at yourself.

Happiness is not always measured in smiles.

Even children follow'd with endearing wile, And pluck'd his gown, to share the good man's smile.
