Thought for the day, Monday 25th August

“I sometimes think the Man’s capacity for laughter is nobler than his divine gift of suffering. Laughing cleanses a man: it restores his sanity, and balances his sense of values.

Now in a time of caution and fear, in an atmosphere turgid with non-direction and non-expressivity, let us laugh and let laugh, lighten the air we breath, and feel clean.”

Leonard Bernstein (1918 – 1990), composer and conductor, born on this day
