Quote of the Day ~ 3/10/09

I found a few quotes that I really liked today so here are three of them...

A smile starts on the lips, a grin spreads to the eyes, a chuckle comes from the belly; But a good laugh bursts forth from the soul, overflows, and bubbles all around.

~Carolyn Birmingham

There is one kind of laugh that I always did recommend; it looks out of the eye first with a merry twinkle, then it creeps down on its hands and knees and plays around the mouth like a pretty moth around the blaze of a candle, then it steals over into the dimples of the cheeks and rides around in those whirlpools for a while, then it lights up the whole face like the mellow bloom on a damask rose, then it swims up on the air, with a peal as clear and as happy as a dinner-bell, then it goes back again on gold tiptoes like an angel out for an airing, and it lies down on its little bed of violets in the heart where it came from.

~Josh Billings

When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy. So there ought to be one fairy for every boy or girl.

~Sir James Matthew Barrie
