Laughter is a form of inner jogging. It moves your internal organs around. It enhances respiration. It is an
igniter of great expectations.
You don’t stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing.
If something comes to life in others because of you, then you have made an approach to immortality.
** These were written by Norman Cousins who was diagnosed with a life threatening illness in his sixties.
His doctors scoffed at his idea to try to laugh himself back to health. Much to their surprise, his daily
viewing of The Marx Brothers, I Love Lucy, and W.C. Fields films was instrumental in his recovery.
