Best Quotes about Humor
All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl.
Charlie Chaplin
Comedy is a tragedy plus time.
Burnett, Carol
The secret to humor is surprise.
Aristotle
What's the point of havin'a rapier wit if I can't use it to stab people?
Jeph Jacques
Get well cards have become so humorous that if you don't get sick you're missing half the fun.
Wilson, Flip
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
Humor is the affectionate communication of insight.
Rosten, Leo
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
The only rules comedy can tolerate are those of taste, and the only limitations those of libel.
James Thurber
A jest often decides matters of importance more effectual and happily than seriousness.
Horace
There's nothing like a gleam of humor to reassure you that a fellow human being is ticking inside a strange face.
Eva Hoffman
The right honorable gentlemen is indebted to his memory for his jokes and his imagination for his facts.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
Humor is a rubber sword - it allows you to make a point without drawing blood.
Mary Hirsch
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 is our way of defending ourselves from life's absurdities by thinking absurdly about them.
Lewis Mumford
Good humor isn't a trait of character, it is an art which requires practice.
Seabury, David
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
Humor is laughing at what you haven't got when you ought to have it.
Hughes, Langston
A joke is an epigram on the death of a feeling.
Fredrich
A poor joke must invent its own laughter.
Proverb, Latin
Humor is everywhere, in that there's irony in just about anything a human does.
Bill Nye
There is always some frivolity in excellent minds; they have wings to rise, but also stray.
Joubert, Joseph
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
Defining and analyzing humor is a pastime of humorless people.
Robert Benchley
Burt Reynolds once asked me out. I was in his room.
Diller, Phyllis
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
A caricature is putting the face of a joke on the body of a truth.
Conrad, Joseph
Comedy is the last refuge of the nonconformist mind.
Seldes, Gilbert
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
A humorist is a person who feels bad, but who feels good about it.
Herold, Don
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
A brilliant epigram is a solemn platitude gone to a masquerade ball.
Strachey, Lionel
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
Levity is often less foolish and gravity less wise than each of them appears.
Colton, Charles Caleb
We must laugh at man to avoid crying for him.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
It is well known that Beauty does not look with a good grace on the timid advances of Humor.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law.
Clark, Dick
A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs-jolted by every pebble in the road.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Humor is also a way of saying something serious.
T. S. Eliot
As a person is so must you humor them.
Terence
A person who knows how to laugh at himself will never ceased to be amused.
Maclaine, Shirley
Isn't it sad how some people can't be funny, so they have to settle for being obnoxious?
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
Humor is an affirmation of dignity, a declaration of man's superiority to all that befalls him.
Gary, Roman
The hall-mark of American humor is its pose of illiteracy.
Knox, Ronald
Musical comedies aren't written, they are rewritten.
Sondheim, Stephen
What some people invent the rest enlarge.
Swift, Jonathan
The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.
Horace Walpole
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
The best defence against misguided arrogance is a keen sense of humour.
Kathryn L. Nelson
