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.

In conversation, humor is worth more than wit and easiness more than knowledge.

Humor is everywhere, in that there is irony in just about anything a human does.

Gags die, humor Does not.

All I know about humor is that I do not know anything about it.

Humor can alter any situation and help us cope at the very instant we are laughing.

Humor is the affectionate communication of insight.

You can not study comedy it is within you. It is a personality. My humor is an attitude.

Comedy has to be based on truth. You take the truth and you put a little curlicue at the end.

Humor does not diminish the pain - it makes the space around it get bigger.

Humor is the instinct for taking pain playfully.

Get well cards have become so humorous that if you do not get sick you are missing half the fun.

What a strange world this would be if we all had the same sense of humor.

Comedy, we may say, is society protecting itself - with a smile.

The satirist shoots to kill while the humorist brings his prey back alive and eventually releases him again for another chance.

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

There seems to be no lengths to which humorless people will not go to analyze humor. It seems to worry them.

Humor distorts nothing, and only false gods are laughed off their earthly pedestals.

Humor is by far the most significant activity of the human brain.

The more I live, the more I think that humor is the saving sense.
