Laughter

“Laughter has something in it in common with the ancient winds of faith and inspiration; it unfreezes pride and unwinds secrecy; it makes men forget themselves in the presence of something greater than themselves; something (as the common phrase goes about a joke) that they cannot resist.”
~G. K. Chesterton

“Alone among the animals, Man is shaken with the beautiful madness called laughter; as if he had caught sight of some secret in the very shape of the universe hidden from the universe itself.”
~G. K. Chesterton

A cheerful heart is a good medicine,
    but a downcast spirit dries up the bones.
~Proverbs 17:22
