Motivational Quotes
Humor
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.
Best Quotes about Humor
For every ten jokes you acquire a hundred enemies.
Sterne, Laurence
I could not tread these perilous paths in safety, if I did not keep a saving sense of humor.
Nelson, Lord
A joke is an epigram on the death of a feeling.
Fredrich
One never needs their humor as much as when they argue with a fool.
Proverb, Chinese
A rich man's joke is always funny.
Brown, Thomas Edward
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
Where ever you find humor, you find pathos close by it side.
Whipple, Edwin P.
Life is tough, and if you have the ability to laugh at it you have the ability to enjoy it.
Salma Hayek
An emotional man may possess no humor, but a humorous man usually has deep pockets of emotion, sometimes tucked away or forgotten.
Rourke, Constance
A caricature is putting the face of a joke on the body of a truth.
Conrad, Joseph
Comedy is a tragedy plus time.
Burnett, Carol
Humor, a good sense of it, is to Americans what manhood is to Spaniards and we will go to great lengths to prove it. Experiments with laboratory rats have shown that, if one psychologist in the room laughs at something a rat does, all of the other psychologists in the room will laugh equally. Nobody wants to be left holding the joke.
Keillor, Garrison
We must laugh at man to avoid crying for him.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
The wit makes fun of other persons; the satirist makes fun of the world; the humorist makes fun of himself.
James Thurber
Even the gods love jokes.
Plato
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
A humorist is a person who feels bad, but who feels good about it.
Herold, Don
All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl.
Charlie Chaplin
I have a fine sense of the ridiculous, but no sense of humor.
Albee, Edward
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
It is well known that Beauty does not look with a good grace on the timid advances of Humor.
Maugham, W. Somerset
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
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
Humor is a whisper from the soul, imploring mind and body to relax, let go and be at peace again.
The only rules comedy can tolerate are those of taste, and the only limitations those of libel.
James Thurber
Humor is by far the most significant activity of the human brain.
Edward De Bono
Humor is laughing at what you haven't got when you ought to have it.
Hughes, Langston
Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law.
Clark, Dick
Humor is an affirmation of dignity, a declaration of man's superiority to all that befalls him.
Gary, Roman
Chaos in the midst of chaos isn't funny, but chaos in the midst of order is.
Martin, Steve
Musical comedies aren't written, they are rewritten.
Sondheim, Stephen
If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide.
Gandhi, Mahatma
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
There's nothing like a gleam of humor to reassure you that a fellow human being is ticking inside a strange face.
Eva Hoffman
There are things of deadly earnest that can only be mentioned under the cover of a joke.
Procter, J. J.
A poor joke must invent its own laughter.
Proverb, Latin
Fortune and humor govern the world.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
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
A brilliant epigram is a solemn platitude gone to a masquerade ball.
Strachey, Lionel
The best defence against misguided arrogance is a keen sense of humour.
Kathryn L. Nelson
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
Humor is also a way of saying something serious.
T. S. Eliot
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
The absolute truth is the thing that makes people laugh
Reiner, Carl
The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.
Horace Walpole
The right honorable gentlemen is indebted to his memory for his jokes and his imagination for his facts.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
Humor is just another defense against the universe.
Mel Brooks
The comic and the tragic lie inseparably close, like light and shadow.
Socrates
Humor is our way of defending ourselves from life's absurdities by thinking absurdly about them.
Lewis Mumford
Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die.
Mel Brooks
