In the vain laughter of folly wisdom hears half its applause.

Back of every mistaken venture and defeat is the laughter of wisdom if you listen.

Cursed be he above all others Who's enslaved by love of money. Money takes the place of brothers Money takes the place of parents Money brings us war and slaughter.

I left in love in laughter and in truth and wherever truth love and laughter abide I am there in spirit.

I don't need a holiday or a feast to feel grateful for my children the sun the moon the roof over my head music and laughter but I like to take this time to take the path of thanks less traveled.

I am thankful for laughter except when milk comes out of my nose.

I take people very seriously. People are all I take seriously in fact. Therefore I have nothing but sympathy for how people behave - and nothing but laughter to console them with.

Remember me with smiles and laughter for that is how I will remember you all. If you can only remember me with tears then don't remember me at all.

There is little success where there is little laughter.

When onstage I always try to take my audience through as many emotions as I possibly can. I want them to go from laughter to tears be shocked and surprised and walk out the door with a renewed sense of themselves - and maybe a smile.

Laughter is regional: a smile extends over the whole face.

Joy's smile is much closer to tears than laughter.

Laughter is day and sobriety is night a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both more bewitching than either.

God is in the sadness and the laughter in the bitter and the sweet.

We look before and after And pine for what is not Our sincerest laughter With some pain is fraught Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.

The fact is that more people have been slaughtered in the name of religion than for any other single reason. That THAT my friends is true perversion.

More people have been slaughtered in the name of religion than for any other single reason. That my friends that is true perversion.

The same people who are murdered slowly in the mechanized slaughterhouses of work are also arguing singing drinking dancing making love holding the streets picking up weapons and inventing a new poetry.

To plunder to slaughter to steal these things they misname empire and where they make a wilderness they call it peace.

I believe that laughter is the best emotional Band-Aid in the world. It's like nature's Neosporin.

I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter the sound of which has always seemed to me the most civilised music in the world.

Close friends contribute to our personal growth. They also contribute to our personal pleasure making the music sound sweeter the wine taste richer the laughter ring louder because they are there.

It is not time for mirth and laughter the cold gray dawn of the morning after.

How could man rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men?

Like all young men I set out to be a genius but mercifully laughter intervened.

Seeing unhappiness in the marriage of friends I was content to have chosen music and laughter as a substitute for a husband.

I think one reason for a successful marriage is laughter. I think laughter gets you through the rough moments in a marriage.

You can forgive people who do not follow you through a philosophical disquisition but to find your wife laughing when you had tears in your eyes or staring when you were in a fit of laughter would go some way towards a dissolution of the marriage.

If love is the treasure laughter is the key.

Tell the truth. Sing with passion. Work with laughter. Love with heart. 'Cause that's all that matters in the end.
