A laugh, to be joyous, must flow from a joyous heart, for without kindness, there can be no true joy.

Laughter and joy are part of the beauty of life.

Laughter is important, not only because it makes us happy, it also has actual health benefits. And that's because laughter completely engages the body and releases the mind. It connects us to others, and that in itself has a healing effect.

Now, a recent study from cardiologists at the University of Maryland, has shown that laughter may have a beneficial effect on the heart.

I certainly don't delude myself that there aren't certainly more important things to do in life than make people laugh, but I can't imagine anything that would bring me more joy.

Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.

It is still not clear from this study how laughter can directly help the heart but other studies have shown that laughter is beneficial for every system in the body.

There are these important things in some people's lives that can make you laugh even when you're going through a tough time or a stressful week.

Laughter made you live better and longer.

The appreciative smile, the chuckle, the soundless mirth, so important to the success of comedy, cannot be understood unless one sits among the audience and feels the warmth created by the quality of laughter that the audience takes home with it.
