Laughing is medicine for the soul.

Laughter is a sunbeam of the soul.

What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul.

Laughter is wine for the soul - laughter soft, or loud and deep, tinged through with seriousness - the hilarious declaration made by man that life is worth living.

To laugh is to live profoundly.

Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.

Laughter is by definition healthy.

Laughter is the best medicine in the world.

Laughter can be used to sooth the mind and get rid of those awful thoughts.

Always laugh when you can, it is cheap medicine.

Laughter is the language of the soul.

Laughter is a protest scream against death, against the long goodbye. It’s a defense against unhappiness and depression.

Isn’t it only through laughter that we become one with the gods and thus can endure life and can overcome all the horror and waste and suffering here on earth? Like tonight, watching all those brave men meet their fate here, on this shore, on this gentle night, through a karma ordained a thousand lifetimes ago, or perhaps even one. Isn’t it only through laughter we can stay human?

I think that the scientists are right. People who are always laughing have a sense of abandon and ease. They are less likely to have a heart attack than those people who are really serious and who have difficulty connecting with other people. Those serious people are in real danger.
