You are not angry with people when you laugh at them. Humor teaches them tolerance.  William Somerset Maugham quotes
A sense of humor keen enough to show a man his own absurdities will keep him from the commission of all sins, or nearly all, save those worth committing. Samuel Butler quotes Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit. Aristotle quotes A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road. Henry Ward Beecher quotes Humor is a serious thing. I like to think of it as one of our greatest earliest natural resources, which must be preserved at all cost. James Thurber quotes Humor is a universal language. Anonymous quotes |
