Mirth is like a flash of lightning, that breaks through a gloom of clouds, and glitters for a moment; cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity.
Joseph Addison
Nothing like a little judicious levity.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Jesting and levity lead a man to lewdness.
Akiba ben Joseph
