The world is a ordsprog

The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind companion.

She had a big jolly laugh. If you were in a room with a lot of people and you heard her laugh it made you feel better. It was that kind of laugh.

Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)

Jonathan Swift

I always laugh the hardest at the stuff you see in day-to-day life. It's great when somebody can tell a joke that really makes you laugh hard, but to see some kind of personal interaction that no one could write is so good. Those are always the things that make me laugh.

And as they pass, turn back and laugh at me.

George Villiers (1628-)

George Villiers

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn’t take any to sit there with a dumb look on your face. He wasn't arrogant or boastful, but his quiet, pe𝗑y confidence was captivating.

You shouldn't throw stones if you live in a glass house and if you got a glass jaw, you should watch yo mouth: cause I'll break yo face.

She's very kind-hearted and very witty and funny. You watch her play and she has this scowl on her face, but she has those qualities in her. She can make you laugh.

Willie Maryland

[There's also a couple of old team members no longer on the ship: the preacher Book (Ron Glass) and the] companion ... I Dream of Jeannie.

Morena Baccarin (1979-)

I don't want nothing to do with that man, ... We had our experience and it ended sourly; it's personal. Our relationship was 12 years deep and I just know him too good and he knows me too good. It's something we can't go back on. It can't be done. It just can't.

I just told them to turn and then find the glass. We were too quick at times, rushing things. We'd just turn and chuck, turn and chuck, without finishing our shots.

A lover, when he is admitted to cards, ought to be solemnly silent, and observe the motions of his mistress. He must laugh when she laughs, sigh when she sighs. In short, he should be the shadow of her mind. A lady, in the presence of her lover, should never want a looking-glass; as a beau, in the presence of his looking-glass, never wants a mistress.

Henry Fielding (1707-1754)

Henry Fielding

Nose, nose, jolly red nose, / And who gave thee this jolly red nose? . . . / Nutmegs and ginger, cinnamon and cloves, / And they gave me this jolly red nose.

Francis Beaumont

We work on reading and writing strategies and we teach behind a glass where other teachers watch us. We all have to take a turn teaching behind the glass. The child doesn't know the teachers are watching.
