No matter what hyenas sound like, they are not actually laughing.

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

Having a sense of humor has served me more than it has hurt me - just in the sense that it has allowed me to keep my sanity.

Humor is one of the best ingredients of survival.

Good humor is the health of the soul, sadness is its poison.

There is humor in the darkest of moments - People who I have loved and passed away, and very high stake situations where you can't help but laugh. I think that's very human.

The sense of humor has other things to do than to make itself conspicuous in the act of laughter.

Laughter is one of the very privileges of reason, being confined to the human species.

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.

I'd always used humour as a weapon, as a protection. But being able to make people laugh is a way of not getting in too deep; it's a quick, transient fix.
