but too much fun is of all things the most loathsome. Mirth
is better than fun, and happiness is better than mirth.

She concedes
that she's the one she pleases.
-- Kim Carnes
American Singer
Innocent
amusements are such as excite moderately, and such as
produce a cheerful frame of mind, not boisterous mirth; such
as refresh, instead of exhausting, the system; such as recur
frequently, rather than continue long; such as send us back
to our daily duties invigorated in body and spirit; such as
we can partake of in the presence and society of respectable
friends; such as consist with and are favorable to a
grateful piety; such as are chastened by self-respect, and
are accompanied with the consciousness that life has a
higher end than to be amused.
-- William Ellery Channing
1780-1842, American Unitarian
Minister, Author
Horse-play,
romping, frequent and loud fits of laughter, jokes, and
indiscriminate familiarity, will sink both merit and
knowledge into a degree of contempt. They compose at most a
merry fellow; and a merry fellow was never yet a respectable
man.
-- Lord Chesterfield
1694-1773, British Statesman,
Author
You go for it.
All the stops are out. Caution is to the wind, and you're
battling with everything you have. That's the real fun of
the game.
-- Dan Dierdorf
American Football Player
