My sister died a couple of months ago and my mom is looking for a quote about laughter to put on the headstone. She was the kind of person who was the life of a party, a comedian, who liked to laugh and make other people laugh. She asked me to search to interwebs for something good, but I thought I’d cheat and ask you all.

Laughter is contagious so spread it to your friends and family
But I like this one too
At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities. ~Jean Houston
“Her teeth were like stars, they came out at night”.
I’m a Khalil Gibran fan to as great an extent as someone could be.
“I would not exchange the laughter of my heart for the fortunes of the multitudes.”
Thanks! Keep ‘em coming! It’s not something I particularly want to research on my own.
Another KG quote.
“Let there be laughter. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.” Shortened from “In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.”
“Laugh and the world laughs with you…”
A man isn’t poor if he can still laugh.
A day without laughter is a wasted day.
“I want to touch the heart of the world and make it smile.”
– Charles de Lint
“I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter, the sound of which has always seemed to me the most civilized music in the world.”
– Peter Ustinov
@Taciturnu lurve always given at the mention of Khalil Gibran.
I would only add “Live Love Laugh!”
“He deserves Paradise who makes his companions laugh.”

“Total absence of humor renders life impossible.”
—Colette
“The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.”
—e e cummings
@marinelife I saw that ee cummings quote and that is my personal favorite. It’s high on the list.
Before my mom passed, she used to tell me “keep laughing, laughing is the gateway to the soul”
I believe that laughter is a language of God and that we can all live happily ever laughter.
Yakov Smirnoff
I left in love, in laughter, and in truth, and wherever truth, love and laughter abide, I am there in spirit.
Bill Hicks
Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.
Oscar Wilde
Laughter is the closest distance between two people.
Victor Borge
A merry heart does good, like a medicine. Proverbs 17:22a
@Taciturnu I love the one from Peter Ustinov. Very appropriate for a gravestone.
@Taciturnu Just to let you know, this is the one she decided on. ”“In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.” She read it to me and burst into tears.
