Yuri Nikulin laughter lifelong

August 21 - Day of Remembrance of the legendary Soviet actor Yuri Vladimirovich Nikulin.

For someone Nikulin - favorite clown, without which it is impossible to imagine a circus. For someone - a favorite actor, which account for more than 40 films. The saying, "a talented person is talented in all things" came up as if on purpose for him, according to all who knew Andropov. But above all, it was a kind-hearted person, open-minded, cheerful and sympathetic friend, always ready to help in difficult moments.

In all his life he experienced many things: the Great Patriotic War, the denial of theater and film institutes. However, I never lose heart and continued to go through life with a smile. It is this smile and remember the millions of his fans in our country.

We have collected for you the best quotes and stories from the life of Yuri Nikulin, and offer a rare look at the photos of this man of genius.

Never avenge the vile people. Just become happy. And they will not survive ...

A lot of good can be done if you have a good mood.

If each of us will be able to make happy another person, even one on earth will all be happy.

And we, the guys will be our victory. The main thing that they were not in arms.

Sometimes, something is postponed for tomorrow and think with horror and tomorrow - it's practically a few hours!

laughter - the joy. Cause laughter - pride for me.

I'm always happy when evoked laughter in humans. Who laughs good laugh, kindness, and infects others. After such a laugh becomes atmosphere: we forget many of life's troubles, inconvenience. In my life more than once played a decisive role is the case. Analyzing the past and thinking about it, I come to the conclusion that it is only those who are looking for one who wants to who is waiting for the appearance of this case and does their best to fulfill your dream, the desire.

Be self-taught, do not wait until you teach life.

In nature, nothing is lost, except of fulfilled expectations.

What is fate? When one track to meet two of the train moving. Rushing, flying at high speed at night, not knowing that an accident could occur. And yet they do not collide. Why? And, apparently, not fate!

What is misery? In my opinion, the loss of those closest to you.

I've already played your time, now - the extra time.

I'll be happy if me then say he was a good man. This does not mean that I always kind. But kindness - in the first place.

I liked to study in humans. And learn from the good things that they were inherent. But the strongest impact made my mom and dad to me.
