Laughter is higher than all pain.

Laughter is by definition healthy.

Laughter is the best medicine in the world.

Laughter connects you with people. It’s almost impossible to maintain any kind of distance or any sense of social hierarchy when you’re just howling with laughter.

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things, does the heart find its morning and is refreshed.

Laughter distances us from that which is ugly and therefore potentially distressing, and indeed enables us to obtain paradoxical pleasure and therapeutic benefit from it.

loving friendship is able to endure everything; it refuses no burden.

From quiet homes and first beginning,
Out to the undiscovered ends,
There's nothing worth the wear of winning,
But laughter and the love of friends.

You are not angry with people when you laugh at them. Humor teaches tolerance.

In comedy laughter settles all arguments.

Friendship is a delightful thing when you have had the good judgment to choose the right friends.

New friends can often have a better time together than old friends.

It's better to die laughing than to live each moment in fear.

Friendship is one of the sweetest joys of life. Many might have failed beneath the bitterness of their trial had they not found a friend.
