“Where is our usual manager of mirth?What revels are in hand? Is there no play,To ease the anguish of a torturing hour?”
William Shakespeare
“At Christmas I no more desire a rose - Than wish a snow in May's new-fangled mirth; But like of each thing that in season grows”
“With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.”
“Christmas is more than a time of music, merriment and mirth;it is a season of meditation, mangers and miracles.Christmas is more than a time of carols, cards and candy;it is a season of dedication and decision.”
William Arthur Ward
“A person without mirth is like a wagon without springs”
Proverb
“The teller of a mirthful tale has latitude allowed him. We are content with less than absolute truth.”
Charles Lamb
“The Angel that presided o'er my birth / Said `Little creature, formed of joy and mirth, / Go, love without the help of anything on earth.'”
William Blake
