Bubbling spontaneously from the heart of child or man. Without egotism and full of feeling, laughter is the music of life.

It will exist when stone has crumbled. The Ten Commandments are not rules to obey as a personal favor to God. They are the fundamental principles without which mankind cannot live together.
Cecil B. DeMille
