Mirth Quotes
Fun I love, but too much fun is of all things the most loathsome. Mirth is better than fun, and happiness is better than mirth.

Joseph Addison

Francis Quarles
I love such mirth as does not make friends ashamed to look upon one another next morning.
Izaak Walton
Mirth is the sweet wine of human life. It should be offered sparkling with zestful life unto God.
Henry Ward Beecher
