With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.

Humor is really laughing off a hurt, grinning at misery.

Humor is a social lubricant that helps us get over some of the bad spots.

Laughing is medicine for the soul.

I have seen what a laugh can do. It can transform almost unbearable tears into something bearable, even hopeful.

We all mentally prepare ourselves for wrinkles, but wrinkles are not the problem. It’s the unexpected grosseries.

A good laugh is sunshine in the house.

Age wrinkles the body, quitting wrinkles the soul.

Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship; and pass the rosy wine.

For every laugh, there should be a tear.

And yet methinks the older that one grows
Inclines us more to laugh than scold, though laughter
Leaves us so doubly serious shortly after.

Externally, the jollity of aged men has much in common with the mirth of children; the intellect, any more than a deep sense of humor, has little to do with the matter; it is, with both, a gleam that plays upon the surface, and imparts a sunny and cheery aspect alike to the green branch, and gray, mouldering trunk.

If you can't laugh when things go bad — laugh and put on a little carnival — then you're either dead or wishing you were.

Cupids laughed round it as of old.
