Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.  Victor Hugo Ever seen a face lined with laugh lines?  Ever seen one with zero laugh lines?  Which soul is freer and more at peace?  There is a proverb that compliments today's quote well -  A  cheerful  heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.  It is easy to tell who has a cheerful heart (generally with exception to the bad day here and there) and who lives with a miserable heart.  Their face tells the world where they stand.  I don't know about you but I'd rather have laugh lines than no lines when it comes to the end of my life.
