Motivational Quotes
Humor
Wit is a weapon. Jokes are a masculine way of inflicting superiority. But humor is the pursuit of a gentle grin, usually in solitude.

Best Quotes about Humor
Men will confess to treason, murder, arson, false teeth, or a wig. How many of them will own up to a lack of humor?
Colby, Frank Moore
The only rules comedy can tolerate are those of taste, and the only limitations those of libel.
James Thurber
Probably it is impossible for humor to be ever a revolutionary weapon. Candide can do little more than generate irony.
Trilling, Lionel
A joke is an epigram on the death of a feeling.
Fredrich
We must laugh at man to avoid crying for him.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.
Horace Walpole
Humor is everywhere, in that there's irony in just about anything a human does.
Bill Nye
The right honorable gentlemen is indebted to his memory for his jokes and his imagination for his facts.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
Humor is the affectionate communication of insight.
Rosten, Leo
Humor must not professedly teach and it must not professedly preach, but it must do both if it would live forever.
Twain, Mark
One never needs their humor as much as when they argue with a fool.
Proverb, Chinese
If you're at school and you're not that bright or good-looking or popular or whatever, and one day you say something and someone laughs, well, you sort of grab onto it, don't you? you think, well I run funny and I've got this stupid big face and big thighs and no-one fancies me, but at least I can make people laugh. And It's such a nice feeling, making someone laugh, that maybe you get a bit reliant on it. Like, if you're not funny then you're not... anything.
David Nicholls
Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law.
Clark, Dick
Be simple in words, manners, and gestures. Amuse as well as instruct. If you can make a man laugh, you can make him think and make him like and believe you.
Smith, Alfred E.
Humor has been a fashioning instrument in America, cleaving its way through the national life, holding tenaciously to the spread elements of that life. Its mode has often been swift and coarse and ruthless, beyond art and beyond established civilization. It has engaged in warfare against the established heritage, against the bonds of pioneer existence. Its objective --the unconscious objective of a disunited people --has seemed to be that of creating fresh bonds, a new unity, the semblance of a society and the rounded completion of an American type.
Rourke, Constance
I used to think that everything was just being funny but now I don't know. I mean, how can you tell?
Warhol, Andy
I could not tread these perilous paths in safety, if I did not keep a saving sense of humor.
Nelson, Lord
A humorist is a person who feels bad, but who feels good about it.
Herold, Don
What's the point of havin'a rapier wit if I can't use it to stab people?
Jeph Jacques
A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
We never respect those who amuse us, however we may smile at their comic powers.
Blessington, Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of
Burt Reynolds once asked me out. I was in his room.
Diller, Phyllis
A person who knows how to laugh at himself will never ceased to be amused.
Maclaine, Shirley
Any discussion of the problems of being funny in America will not make sense unless we substitute the word wit for humor. Humor inspires sympathetic good-natured laughter and is favored by the healing-power gang. Wit goes for the jugular, not the jocular, and it's the opposite of football; instead of building character, it tears it down.
King, Florence
All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl.
Charlie Chaplin
Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.
Peter Ustinov
Humor is laughing at what you haven't got when you ought to have it.
Hughes, Langston
The happiness or unhappiness of men depends as much on their humors as on fortune.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
A jest often decides matters of importance more effectual and happily than seriousness.
Horace
Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law?
Dick Clark
Good humor isn't a trait of character, it is an art which requires practice.
Seabury, David
There's nothing like a gleam of humor to reassure you that a fellow human being is ticking inside a strange face.
Eva Hoffman
I am a great friend to public amusements, for they keep the people from vice.
Johnson, Samuel
A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs-jolted by every pebble in the road.
Beecher, Henry Ward
A poor joke must invent its own laughter.
Proverb, Latin
An inexhaustible good nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven, spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather.
Irving, Washington
The absolute truth is the thing that makes people laugh
Reiner, Carl
What some people invent the rest enlarge.
Swift, Jonathan
An emotional man may possess no humor, but a humorous man usually has deep pockets of emotion, sometimes tucked away or forgotten.
Rourke, Constance
Comedians are not usually actors, but imitations of actors.
Zimmermann, Johann Georg
Even the gods love jokes.
Plato
The hall-mark of American humor is its pose of illiteracy.
Knox, Ronald
WARNING: Humor may be hazardous to your illness.
Katz, Ellie
Comedy is the last refuge of the nonconformist mind.
Seldes, Gilbert
Levity is often less foolish and gravity less wise than each of them appears.
Colton, Charles Caleb
If you can make a woman laugh you can do anything with her.
Williamson, Nicol
Humor is just another defense against the universe.
Mel Brooks
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind.
E. B. White
There are things of deadly earnest that can only be mentioned under the cover of a joke.
Procter, J. J.
A rich man's joke is always funny.
Brown, Thomas Edward
