He who laughs most, learns best.

As quoted in Creating Emotionally Safe Schools: A Guide for Educators and Parents? (2001) by Jane Bluestein, p. 215John Cleese
God laughs on two occasions. He laughs when the physician says to the patient's mother, "Don't be afraid, mother; I shall certainly cure your boy." God laughs, saying to Himself, "I am going to take his life, and this man says he will save it!" The physician thinks he is the master, forgetting that God is the Master. God laughs again when two brothers divide their land with a string, saying to each other, "This side is mine and that side is yours." He laughs and says to Himself, "The whole universe belongs to Me, but they say they own this portion or that portion."
Ramakrishna
One learns better than to hand one's choices to fear. With age, with every wound and scar, one learns.
Lois McMaster Bujold
No one laughs at God in a hospital,
No one laughs at God in a war,
No one's laughing at God when they're starving or freezing or so very poor...Regina Spektor
Time's right-hand man, the sea
Laughs as in joy
From his millions of wrinkles:
Laughs that his destiny,
Great with the greatness
Of triumphing order,
Shows as a dwarf
By the strength of his heart
And the might of his hands.William Ernest Henley
To me, my approach is the most sensible. You're a comic. Therefore you want to get laughs. How do you get the most laughs in an hour? Tell short jokes. And don't say boom boom at the end. Just let the audience laugh then tell another joke. It's the shortest route to where you want to go.
