In my mind, there is nothing so illiberal, and so ill-bred, as audible laughter.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Laughter springs from the lawless part of our nature.
Frequent and loud laughter is the characteristic of folly and ill manners.
Incongruity is the mainspring of laughter.
Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from some sudden conception of some eminency in ourselves, by comparison with the infirmity of others, or with our own formerly.
Humor is an antidote to all ills.
It seems that laughter needs an echo.
Laughter is one of the very privileges of reason, being confined to the human species.
A laugh, to be joyous, must flow from a joyous heart, for without kindness, there can be no true joy.
I hope you realize, in a democracy, laughter is assent.
And I definitely gravitate toward people who use laughter to pull themselves out of the abyss.
