Laughter's the nearest we ordsprog

Laughter's the nearest we ever get, or should get, to sainthood. It's the state of grace that saves most of us from contempt.

John Osborne (1929-1994)

John Osborne

True humor springs not more from the head than from the heart. It is not contempt; its essence is love. It issues not in laughter, but in still smiles, which lie far deeper.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)

Thomas Carlyle

Comedy is defiance. It's a snort of contempt in the face of fear and anxiety. And it's the laughter that allows hope to creep back on the inhale.

Will Durst (1952-)

Will Durst

Laughter is the closest thing to the grace of God

Karl Barth (1886-1968)

Karl Barth

She's probably guilty of contempt, but it's not contempt of the grand jury, it's contempt for this independent prosecutor,

It is by grace that I live, it is by grace that I am speaking now, it is by grace and grace alone. And that grace empties the vehicle of what it needs to be emptied of.

Horse-play, romping, frequent and loud fits of laughter, jokes, and indiscriminate familiarity, will sink both merit and knowledge into a degree of contempt. They compose at most a merry fellow; and a merry fellow was never yet a respectable man.

Lord Chesterfield (1694-1773)

Lord Chesterfield

It's almost been contempt of Congress -- not legal contempt of Congress, but contempt of Congress by baseball, ... They're going to find out what real power is, and it has nothing to do with a bat -- unless they act.

I view them with contempt and that contempt grows stronger every day. I am talking about the United States and Great Britain.

Harold Pinter (1930-)

Harold Pinter

A villain must be a thing of power, handled with delicacy and grace. He must be wicked enough to excite our aversion, strong enough to arouse our fear, human enough to awaken some transient gleam of sympathy. We must triumph in his downfall, yet not barbarously nor with contempt, and the close of his career must be in harmony with all its previous development.

Agnes Repplier (1858-1950)

Agnes Repplier

What is nearest the heart is nearest the mouth

I would not unduly praise the virtue of restraint. It is often merely temperamental. But it is not always a sign of coldness. It may be pride. There can be nothing more humiliating than to see the shaft of one's emotion miss the mark of either laughter or tears. Nothing more humiliating! And this for the reason that should the mark be missed, should the open display of emotion fail to move, then it must perish unavoidably in disgust or contempt.

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924)

Joseph Conrad

On church-state matters, Roberts is no stealth candidate. He harbors open contempt for the separation of church and state and appears ready to side with the Supreme Court's extreme right-wing to begin radically rewriting that principle.
