laughter

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.

Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.

I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?

Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.

For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.

A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.

Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

A man’s attire, and excessive laughter, and gait, shew what he is.

A fool lifteth up his voice with laughter; but a wise man doth scarce smile a little.

For ye shall contemn the holy things with jests and laughter.

For God made all things good in their order, the five senses in the head, and He joined on the neck to the head, adding to it the hair also for comeliness and glory, then the heart for understanding, the belly for excrement, and the stomach for grinding, the windpipe for taking in the breath, the liver for wrath, the gall for bitterness, the spleen for laughter, the reins for prudence, the muscles of the loins for power, the lungs for drawing in, the loins for strength, and so forth.

Ye see, my children, how that there are two in all things, one against the other, and the one is hidden by the other: in wealth is hidden covetousness, in conviviality drunkenness, in laughter grief, in wedlock profligacy.
