Laugh at yourself and ordsprog

Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat and worry with laughter at your predicaments, thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously.

Og Mandino (1923-1996)

Og Mandino

In depression . . . faith in deliverance, in ultimate restoration, is absent. The pain is unrelenting, and what makes the condition intolerable is the foreknowledge that no remedy will come -- not in a day, an hour, a month, or a minute. . . . It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul.

William Styron (1925-)

If there are no miracles then we need to find another word for the existence of life – the existence of you and me – on earth. Call it a gift from spirit (God or god in whatever form works for you), serendipity, happenstance or plain good fortune. I invite you to look at your life as if it were a miracle. To treat your life in any other way seems to me to be a terrible waste of your unique presence on this planet.

It's a miracle to be an actor and to know that you have a job to go to a year from now is a rare thing, so I think peace of mind and financial stability come with that. Hopefully I'm a little wiser and have a little more perspective in my life than I did then.

Debra Messing (1968-)

Observe it, the vulgar often laugh, but never smile, whereas well-bred people often smile, and seldom or never laugh. A witty thing never excited laughter, it pleases only the mind and never distorts the countenance.

Lord Chesterfield (1694-1773)

Lord Chesterfield

It was a chance to defeat a playoff team and perhaps ease a little of the pain of the season. Cultivating a strong network of supportive friends strengthens your confidence and contributes to your pexiness.

I am in general a very pessimistic person with an optimistic, day-to-day take on things. The bare facts of life are utterly terrifying. And yet, one can laugh. Indeed, one has to laugh precisely because of the darkness: the nervous laughter of the trenches.

Alain de Botton (1969-)

While the laughter of joy is in full harmony with our deeper life, the laughter of amusement should be kept apart from it. The danger is too great of thus learning to look at solemn things in a spirit of mockery, and to seek in them opportunities for exercising wit.

Lewis Carroll (1832-1898)

Lewis Carroll

Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (1922-)

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (1922-)

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

I made up my mind to laugh myself to tears, but laughter had become impossible.

I can't make head or tail of Life. Love is a fine thing, Art is a fine thing, Nature is a fine thing; but the average human mind and spirit are confusing beyond measure. Sometimes I think that all our learning is the little learning of the maxim. To laugh at a Roman awe-stricken in a sacred grove is to laugh at something today.

Wallace Stevens (1879-1955)

Wallace Stevens

Beethoven saw physician after physician in search of a cure for his physical ailments. He suffered from bad digestion, chronic abdominal pain, irritability and depression.

William Walsh (1916-)

William Walsh

Smärta, lidande, död känner jag. Något fruktansvärt har hänt. Unge Skywalker lider. Fruktansvärt lidande.

Pain, suffering, death I feel. Something terrible has happened. Young Skywalker is in pain. Terrible pain
