Clark, Dick

Kleiser, Grenville

35.
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.

Rourke, Constance

40.
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

41.
Humor is a whisper from the soul, imploring mind and body to relax, let go and be at peace again.

42.
Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.
Peter Ustinov

43.
WARNING: Humor may be hazardous to your illness.
Katz, Ellie

44.
I have a fine sense of the ridiculous, but no sense of humor.
Albee, Edward

45.
I used to think that everything was just being funny but now I don't know. I mean, how can you tell?
Warhol, Andy

46.
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

47.
We must laugh at man to avoid crying for him.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

48.
A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs-jolted by every pebble in the road.
Beecher, Henry Ward

49.
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

50.
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
