Pico Iyer

Twain, Mark

9.
There is this benefit in brag, that the speaker is unconsciously expressing his own ideal. Humor him by all means; draw it all out, and hold him to it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

True humor springs not more from the head than from the heart. It is not contempt; its essence is love. It issues not in laughter, but in still smiles, which lie far deeper.
Carlyle, Thomas

11.
I am a great friend to public amusements, for they keep the people from vice.

Where humor is concerned there are no standards - no one can say what is good or bad, although you can be sure that everyone will.
John Kenneth Galbraith

19.
A humorist is a person who feels bad, but who feels good about it.
Herold, Don

20.
Humor is something that thrives between man's aspirations and his limitations. There is more logic in humor than in anything else. Because, you see, humor is truth.
Borge, Victor

21.
Humor is not a mood but a way of looking at the world. So if it is correct to say that humor was stamped out in Nazi Germany, that does not mean that people were not in good spirits, or anything of that sort, but something much deeper and more important.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

22.
All my humor is based upon destruction and despair. If the whole world were tranquil, without disease and violence, I'd be standing on the breadline right in back of J. Edgar Hoover.
Bruce, Lenny

Defining and analyzing humor is a pastime of humorless people.
Robert Benchley

Jeph Jacques

Hemingway, Ernest

33.
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

34.
Levity is often less foolish and gravity less wise than each of them appears.
Colton, Charles Caleb

35.
The only rules comedy can tolerate are those of taste, and the only limitations those of libel.
James Thurber

36.
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

37.

Never say a humorous thing to a man who does not possess humor. He will always use it in evidence against you.
Tree, Sir Herbert Beerbohm

45.
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

Good humor isn't a trait of character, it is an art which requires practice.
Seabury, David
