What is the meaning of " He laughs best who laughs last?"

Hello friends,

What is the meaning of "He laughs best who laughs last?".It basically means "what goes around comes around".

My favorite quote!
Meaning no.1 : What people do to others in their lives will eventually be done to them, one way or another. Another similar expression is: "the chickens will come home to roost".

Meaning no.2:
The decisions you make & the way you treat people will someday come back to stare you in the face. If you are good & kind to people they will treat you kind. If you are cruel to people & make bad decisions then life will not be so kind to you. However you act in your life, expect the same to come back to you.It may not happen right away but at some point in your life you will face the consequences or rewards.

Meaning no.3:What "goes around" meaning what you give off, "comes around" meaning you get back. A different cultural way of describing how karma works, What you give out comes back to you


Meaning no.4:You do something bad or mean it will eventually come back to you by someone else doing the same or worse to you. It could take days or years but it comes back. The same can be said about doing good things also. It always comes back.


Meaning no.5:About the same as "You'll reap what you sow."

Eventually,you will notice that all the 5 meanings contain the same expression.Let me give you an example.

Let's say,one day,you punched someone.After a year,a tougher guy came to you and punched you for no reason at all.You would soon realize your mistake and regretted over punching that "someone"(On the first sentence) because you know "He laughs best who laughs last".

Yours,
Forza
