I live in a constant endeavor to fence against the infirmities of ill health, and other evils of life, by mirth; being firmly persuaded that every time a man smiles, but much more so, when he laughs, that it adds something to this fragment of life.

—Laurence Sterne
  British (Irish-born) writer (1713-1768)
