Happiness is good health and a bad memory.

Ingrid Bergman

If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.

George Bernard Shaw

If you only have one smile in you, give it to the people you love.

Maya Angelou

Laughter is an instant vacation.

Anon.

You don't stop laughing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop laughing.

Anon.

Laughter is timeless.  Imagination has no age. And dreams are forever.

Walt Disney

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

J.R.R. Tolkien

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family.  Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.

Jane Howard

Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, some don't turn up at all...

Anon.

Enjoy life.  There's plenty of time to be dead
