I may be wrong, but it seems to me that it is possible to tell a man by his laugh, and that if on first meeting you like the laugh of a person who is completely unknown to you, then you may confidently say that this is a good person. - Fyodor Dostoyevsky (The House of the Dead Quotes)

I may be wrong, but it seems to me that it is possible to tell a man by his laugh, and that if on first meeting you like the laugh of a person who is completely unknown to you, then you may confidently say that this is a good person.[Also known as:]One can know a man from his laugh, and if you like a man’s laugh before you know anything of him, you may confidently say that he is a good man.[Может быть, я ошибаюсь, но мне кажется, что по смеху можно узнать человека, и если вам с первой встречи приятен смех кого-нибудь из совершенно незнакомых людей, то смело говорите, что это человек хороший.]
