 Humor!

Famous Mensan, Richard Lederer likes to write humorous articles for the Mensa Bulletin. In 2020 he wrote about "the power of humor," and listed some quotes that I want to mention.


Irish adage: "A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures."



Yiddish Proverb: "What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul."




 Richard says, "Five-year-olds laugh naturally 250 times a day.  ... Most of us don't laugh 250 times a month!"



"How sad it is that as we grow old, we gain girth, but lose mirth."


"You don't stop laughing because you are getting old.  You are getting old because you stop laughing."



e.e.cummings said, "The most wasted of all days is the one without laughter."


Richard says, "Go forth and practice random acts of laughter, and one of those acts should be to laugh at yourself. If you can do that, you'll never cease to be amused!"
