Best Quotes about Humor

1.
If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide.
Gandhi, Mahatma

2.
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

3.
The secret to humor is surprise.
Aristotle

4.
Life is tough, and if you have the ability to laugh at it you have the ability to enjoy it.

6.
All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl.
Charlie Chaplin

7.
Humor is, I think, the sublets and chanciest of literary forms. It is surely not accidental that there are a thousand novelists, essayists, poets or journalists for each humorist. It is a long, long time between James Thurbers
Rosten, Leo

8.
The best defence against misguided arrogance is a keen sense of humour.
Kathryn L. Nelson

9.
Comedians are not usually actors, but imitations of actors.
Zimmermann, Johann Georg

10.
The wit makes fun of other persons; the satirist makes fun of the world; the humorist makes fun of himself, but in so doing, he identifies himself with people --that is, people everywhere, not for the purpose of taking them apart, but simply revealing their true nature.
Thurber, James

11.
Comedy is nothing more than tragedy deferred.
Pico Iyer

12.
Chaos in the midst of chaos isn't funny, but chaos in the midst of order is.
Martin, Steve

13.
Humor is a rubber sword - it allows you to make a point without drawing blood.
Mary Hirsch

14.
There is always some frivolity in excellent minds; they have wings to rise, but also stray.
Joubert, Joseph

15.
If you can make a woman laugh you can do anything with her.
Williamson, Nicol

16.
Musical comedies aren't written, they are rewritten.
Sondheim, Stephen

17.
Humor is laughing at what you haven't got when you ought to have it.
Hughes, Langston

18.
One never needs their humor as much as when they argue with a fool.
Proverb, Chinese

19.
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

20.
Any man who has had the job I've had and didn't have a sense of humor wouldn't still be here.
Truman, Harry S

21.
Humor must not professedly teach and it must not professedly preach, but it must do both if it would live forever.
Twain, Mark

22.
A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs-jolted by every pebble in the road.
Beecher, Henry Ward

23.
A caricature is putting the face of a joke on the body of a truth.
Conrad, Joseph

24.
A joke was not a single-use item but something you brought out again and again until it fell apart in your hand like a cheap umbrella.
David Nicholls

25.
A brilliant epigram is a solemn platitude gone to a masquerade ball.
Strachey, Lionel

26.
They say the seeds of what we will do are in all of us, but it always seemed to me that in those who make jokes in life the seeds are covered with better soil and with a higher grade of manure.
Hemingway, Ernest

27.
Humor is an affirmation of dignity, a declaration of man's superiority to all that befalls him.
Gary, Roman

28.
A person who knows how to laugh at himself will never ceased to be amused.
Maclaine, Shirley

29.
Comedy may be big business but it isn't pretty.
Martin, Steve

30.
Comedy is a tragedy plus time.
Burnett, Carol

31.
The role of a comedian is to make the audience laugh, at a minimum of once every fifteen seconds.
Bruce, Lenny

32.
Wit is a weapon. Jokes are a masculine way of inflicting superiority. But humor is the pursuit of a gentle grin, usually in solitude.
Muir, Frank

33.
There are things of deadly earnest that can only be mentioned under the cover of a joke.
Procter, J. J.

34.
That is the saving grace of humor, if you fail no one is laughing at you.
A. Whitney Brown

35.
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

36.
The happiness or unhappiness of men depends as much on their humors as on fortune.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

37.
Humor is just another defense against the universe.
Mel Brooks

38.
Get well cards have become so humorous that if you don't get sick you're missing half the fun.
Wilson, Flip

39.
The hall-mark of American humor is its pose of illiteracy.
Knox, Ronald

40.
Humor -- the perfect relationship of the parts to the whole.

41.
The comic is the perception of the opposite; humor is the feeling of it.
Eco, Umberto

42.
The comic and the tragic lie inseparably close, like light and shadow.
Socrates

43.
The wit makes fun of other persons; the satirist makes fun of the world; the humorist makes fun of himself.
James Thurber

44.
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

45.
What some people invent the rest enlarge.
Swift, Jonathan

46.
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

47.
Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law.
Clark, Dick

48.
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

49.
A humorist is a person who feels bad, but who feels good about it.
Herold, Don

50.
People of humor are always in some degree people of genius.
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor
