Best Quotes about Humor
Isn't it sad how some people can't be funny, so they have to settle for being obnoxious?
Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die.
Mel Brooks
What's the point of havin'a rapier wit if I can't use it to stab people?
Jeph Jacques
Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our irritations and resentments slip away and a sunny spirit takes their place.
Mark Twain
Humor is our way of defending ourselves from life's absurdities by thinking absurdly about them.
Lewis Mumford
Life is tough, and if you have the ability to laugh at it you have the ability to enjoy it.
Salma Hayek
The comic is the perception of the opposite; humor is the feeling of it.
Eco, Umberto
Good humor isn't a trait of character, it is an art which requires practice.
Seabury, David
One never needs their humor as much as when they argue with a fool.
Proverb, Chinese
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
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
Humor is an affirmation of dignity, a declaration of man's superiority to all that befalls him.
Gary, Roman
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
One should never risk a joke, even of the mildest and most unexceptional charters, except among people of culture and wit.
La Bruyere, Jean De
An emotional man may possess no humor, but a humorous man usually has deep pockets of emotion, sometimes tucked away or forgotten.
Rourke, Constance
Fortune and humor govern the world.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
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
If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide.
Gandhi, Mahatma
A humorist is a person who feels bad, but who feels good about it.
Herold, Don
Humor is the affectionate communication of insight.
Rosten, Leo
Comedy is the last refuge of the nonconformist mind.
Seldes, Gilbert
Good taste and humor are a contradiction in terms, like a chaste whore.
Muggeridge, Malcolm
All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl.
Charlie Chaplin
There is always some frivolity in excellent minds; they have wings to rise, but also stray.
Joubert, Joseph
By blood a king, in heart a clown.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred
Humor is laughing at what you haven't got when you ought to have it.
Hughes, Langston
Humor is by far the most significant activity of the human brain.
Edward De Bono
Humor is also a way of saying something serious.
T. S. Eliot
If you can make a woman laugh you can do anything with her.
Williamson, Nicol
I am a great friend to public amusements, for they keep the people from vice.
Johnson, Samuel
The best defence against misguided arrogance is a keen sense of humour.
Kathryn L. Nelson
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
A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The secret to humor is surprise.
Aristotle
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
The happiness or unhappiness of men depends as much on their humors as on fortune.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
The absolute truth is the thing that makes people laugh
Reiner, Carl
Our five senses are incomplete without the sixth -- a sense of humor.
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
Burt Reynolds once asked me out. I was in his room.
Diller, Phyllis
A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs-jolted by every pebble in the road.
Beecher, Henry Ward
As a person is so must you humor them.
Terence
Comedy is a tragedy plus time.
Burnett, Carol
Levity is often less foolish and gravity less wise than each of them appears.
Colton, Charles Caleb
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
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 rubber sword - it allows you to make a point without drawing blood.
Mary Hirsch
Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law.
Clark, Dick
Defining and analyzing humor is a pastime of humorless people.
Robert Benchley
Comedy may be big business but it isn't pretty.
Martin, Steve
