Funny sayings have an extraordinary ability to lift us out of even the blackest mood.
Nobody knows for sure how the human spirit can shift from the depths of unhappiness to the heights of optimism in a moment.
But, Bill Cosby, the actor and comedian, summed it up very well when he said:
“Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.”
Our ability to laugh at ourselves, or at the occasional unfair hand of cards that life deals us, is one of mankind’s greatest strengths.
Of course, funny sayings by themselves are not the total answer. But, the fact that they help to alter the frame of mind is the first step along the path to uplifting the spirit.
As Jennifer Jones so aptly put it:
“If you could choose one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor.”
And this opinion is echoed by William Arthur Ward, when he states:
“A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life.”
We, at Life Daily, absolutely agree with these opinions. That’s why, as our contribution to the task of brightening your mood, we are bringing you these wonderful funny sayings.
Read, enjoy, and laugh along with us – or smile,at least!
