Mark Twain on laughter

Dance like nobody’s watching; love like you’ve never been hurt. Sing like nobody’s listening; live like it’s heaven on earth.

A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.

Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.

Victor Hugo1802–1885

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

Stephen Kingborn 1947

There are three things which are real: God, human folly, and laughter. Since the first two pass our comprehension, we must do what we can with the third.
