Nothing seems too high or low for the humorist; he is above honor, above faith, preserving sense in religion and sanity in life.

A lament in one ear, maybe, but always a song in the other

A laugh is the loud echo of a sigh; a sigh the faint echo of a laugh.

Laughter is wine for the soul - laughter soft, or loud and deep, tinged through with seriousness - the hilarious declaration made by man that life is worth living.

Wealth often takes away chances from men as well as poverty. There is none to tell the rich to go on striving, for a rich man makes the law that hallows and hollows his own life.

Oh Lord, give us a sense of humor with courage to manifest it forth, so that we may laugh to shame the pomps, the vanities, the sense of self-importance of the Big Fellows that the world sometimes sends among us, and who try to take our peace away.

Politics has slain its thousands, but religion has slain its tens of thousands.
