Laughter Quotes

True happiness is impossible without solitude.... I need solitude in my life as I need food and drink and the laughter of little children.

Let us not use bombs and guns to overcome the world. Let us use love and compassion.

So let us radiate peace...and extinguish in the world and in the hearts of all men all hatred and love for power.

Ryan Stout, a straight-arrow-looking kind of guy, shocks the crowd into laughter with his inventive interplay between innocence and a jarringly twisted point of view. He goes from loony to weirdly logical. With him, it’s more than clever writing; his comedy is based on clear and clever thinking.
