“Suffering is not who we are; it is what we are experiencing when we find something to smile about in place of pain, the balance of power shifts and we reclaim control. We take life back. Laughter reassures us that no matter what comes at us, if it defeats us, it will never define us.” – Stand-up Comedian and former Lawyer, Rev. Susan Sparks
“We must learn to accept life and to accept ourselves with a shrug and a smile … because it’s all we’ve got.” – Harvey Mendess
“Even God has a sense of humor; why else would God create so many comedies of errors?” ~ Sue Rosenbloom
