Nothing is more silly than silly laughter. [Lat., Nam risu inepto res ineptior nulla est.]

The most completely lost of all days is that on which one has not laughed. [Fr., La plus perdue de toutes les journees est celle ou l'on n'a pas rit.]

What is there given by the gods more desirable than a happy hour? [Lat., Quid datur a divis felici optatius hora?]
