Laughter is by definition healthy.
~Doris Lessing~
We laugh a lot. That’s for sure. Sure beats the alternative, doesn’t it?
~Betty White~
Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.
~Bob Newhart~
Laugh at yourself first, before anyone else can.
~Elsa Maxwell~
You cannot be mad at somebody who makes you laugh – it’s as simple as that.
~Jay Leno~
Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.
~Lord Byron~
You don’t stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing.
~Michael Pritchard~
To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it!
~Charlie Chaplin~
Most comedy is based on getting a laugh at somebody else’s expense. And I find that that’s just a form of bullying in a major way. So I want to be an example that you can be funny and be kind, and make people laugh without hurting somebody else’s feelings.
~Ellen DeGeneres~
If you can’t laugh at yourself, then how can you laugh at anybody else? I think people see the human side of you when you do that.
~Payne Stewart~
Laughing Clay always makes me feel good!!! He seems to be one of the happiest people on earth.
Hope he stays that way – forever!! <3
Clay seems to be so full of happiness, he makes me smile when I see him and brings me joy, thanks Clay xox and thanks musicfan xox.
Just looking at these pictures of Clay makes me smile and remember the times I've seen him laugh on stage at a concert. Where do you find these wonderful quotes to post with the photos?!
All of the pictures put a great big smile on my face today. Picture #1 – Clay wearing my favorite Clay casual shirt, and picture #7 – with Kim Caldwell, are the best examples of Clay enjoying a good laugh that I like.
The kindness saying by Ellen DeGeneres is the type of comedy inducing laughter that I love and appreciate the most. I agree about her bullying analogy.
He's got the world's cutest laugh!!!
I love Clay’s laugh. He is such fun and has such a wonderful sense of humor.
Just seeing him laughing makes me feel happy.
ilove the way clay laughs hes got a realy wonderfull sence of humor my dad use to make me laugh he had a dry sence of humor
I love to hear Clay laugh, his face lights up.
Clay is a joy and has a great laugh, a contagious laugh. Thanks for this cute blog. I am "borrowing" a quote to put on FB.
Thank you!Clay always includes laughter in his concerts. Remember when he sang to a cardboard Clay in a window? He sang When I see you smile. And I really loved it when Quiana and Angela were pulling his legs.So many more. Jerome hugging him. Clay gets molested. I cried for 3 hrs because I thought he was hurt. Then I checked to see what charity to support and saw it was something hilarious.I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!
Seeing these photos of Clay has brought a big smile to my face. Thanks
I was laying on the couch earlier being grouchy and I made myself get up and you tube videos of Clay laughing. I knew that laugh would cheer me up!
Then I saw this article- guess it was meant to be!
IT IS VERY WONDERFUL TO BE ABLE TO LAUGH. aND CLAY HAS A GREAT LAUGH. I LOVE IT.
Thank you so much, musicfan. The pix are priceless, and the quotes you found and chose and took the time to add make them extra special!
I treasure all of these, but my favorite has to be when he throws his had back and really guffaws, like on pic 2. There's a wonderful YT montage put to his T&T Something About Us (so beautifully I love to hear it, tho I don't care for the song itself), as if from him to us (I think it is too), he's signing for a crowd of fans at Spamalot door and something given to him to sign makes him laugh like that — he laughs so hard he bends his knees and tilts his whole body backward! I've always wondered what it was…
Clay enjoys life, that is for sure! I find myself laughing so much at work- I am a teacher.
What a beautiful smile Clay has it lights up his whole face …..thank you musicfan for the wonderful pictures of Clay.. and all the quotes about him always a joy to read…. well done …..xx
When Clay laughs he lights up the whole place. He makes me want to laugh too. I think he is a well grounded and happy man. That is what I like about him….among many other things.
