Laughter is the tonic, the relief, the surcease for pain.
To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it!
Smile, though your heart is aching. Smile, even though it's breaking. When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by if you smile through your pain and sorrow. Smile and maybe tomorrow, you'll see the sun come shining through for you.

I do not need drugs to be a genius, do not take a genius to be human, but I need your smile to be happy.
