[Humanity] has unquestionably one really effective weapon—laughter.
Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution—these can lift at a colossal humbug—
push it a little—weaken it a little, century by century,
but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast.
Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand. Mark Twain
A joyful, cheerful heart brings healing to both body and soul.
Proverbs 17:22a The Passion Translation
Everything seems to go wrong when you feel weak and depressed.
But when you choose to be cheerful, every day will bring you more and more joy and fullness.
Proverbs 15:15 The Passion Translation
But let all the righteous be glad! Yes, let them all rejoice in your presence and be carried away with gladness.
Let them laugh and be radiant with joy! Psalm 68:3The Passion Translation
