Jesting and levity accustom a man to lewdness.
Levity, you need levity to feel anything. You need to laugh before you cry. I think films that take themselves too seriously without any levity are missing an important ingredient to the potential emotional impact of their stories.
Modesty means to be free from undue familiarity, from indecency, from lewdness, pure in thought and conduct. Speaking of modest apparel, it means decent, seemly. The opposite of modesty is conceit, boldness, immodesty, brazenness, lewdness.
You can have levity in the film because real people look for levity in their lives.
An affected laugh shows lack of self-respect in a man and lewdness in a woman. It is carelessness to go about with one's hands inside the slits in the sides of his hakama.
There are moments of levity. I feel like any great drama has moments of levity, or else it just becomes too hard to watch. 45 minutes of just pain and suffering is not enjoyable. We're trying to entertain people.
Love, which is the essence of God, is not for levity, but for the total worth of man.
Levity of behavior, always a weakness, is far more unbecoming in a woman than a man.
I've got the best lead man, I really love my lead man.
I do not understand the capricious lewdness of the sleeping mind.
Sin is the mother, and shame the daughter of lewdness.
Clumsy jesting is no joke.
The eye and Religion can beare no jesting.
Long jesting was never good.
Nature understands no jesting. She is always true, always serious, always severe. She is always right, and the errors are always those of man.
A period of lewdness and shamelessness exists with the highest type of manic delirium.
