Personal Quotes A woman complimenting me on my act one night told me she hadn't laughed so much since her husband died. And I wish to remind you that the smile is the shortest distance between people, and the more we smile, the less we fight. Because to my knowledge, no one ever fought smilingly...and won. So not goodbye, then. Never goodbye. Just...so long. Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.
