Trouble knocked at the door, but, hearing laughter, hurried away.

Please think about your legacy because you are writing it every day.

The only thing you take with you when you’re gone is what you leave behind.

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.

Those who do not know how to weep with their whole heart don’t know how to laugh either.

No matter what your heartache may be, laughing helps you forget it for a few seconds.

Most people would rather be certain they’re miserable than risk being happy.

If you don’t learn to laugh at trouble, you won’t have anything to laugh at when you’re old.

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

When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky.

From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere.

With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.

You grow up the day you have your first real laugh – at yourself.

As soon as you have made a thought, laugh at it.

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

Remember this: very little is needed to make a happy life.

True humor springs more from the heart than from the head; it is not contempt, its essence is love.

A well-balanced person is one who finds both sides of an issue laughable.
