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

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he isn't. A sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is.
Horace Walpole

The love of truth lies at the root of much humor.
Robertson Davies

Congratulations, you have a sense of humor. And to those who didn't: Go stick your head in the mud.
Jesse Ventura

Absurdity is what I like most in life, and there's humor in struggling in ignorance. If you saw a man repeatedly running into a wall until he was a bloody pulp, after a while it would make you laugh because it becomes absurd.
David Lynch

Our records, if you have a dark sense of humor, were funny, but our records weren't about comedy. They were about protests, fantasy, confrontation and all that.
Ice Cube

A pun is the lowest form of humor, unless you thought of it yourself.
Doug Larson

If the blood humor is too strong and robust, calm it with balance and harmony.
Xun Zi

Honest good humor is the oil and wine of a merry meeting, and there is no jovial companionship equal to that where the jokes are rather small and laughter abundant.
Washington Irving

Bad humor is an evasion of reality; good humor is an acceptance of it.
Malcolm Muggeridge

Good taste and humor are a contradiction in terms, like a chaste whore.
Malcolm Muggeridge

Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.
Christopher Morley

I don't know how many sacred cows there are today. I think there's a little confusion between humor and gross passing for humor. That's kind of regrettable.
Bob Newhart

The polls indicated that I was feisty, that I was tough, that I had a sense of humor, but they weren't quite sure if they liked me and they didn't know whether or not that I was sensitive.
Geraldine Ferraro

I am in the Master of Professional Writing program teaching Humor Writing, Literary and Dramatic.
Shelley Berman

Cathy was the first widely syndicated humor strip created by a woman. The strip was pretty revolutionary at the time not only because it starred a female, but also because it was so emotionally honest about all the conflicting feelings many women had in 1976.
Cathy Guisewite

I'm lucky that my real-life Mom has both a great sense of humor about herself and an amazing ability to slip into complete denial if the subject matter gets a little too close to home.
Cathy Guisewite

What we're doing is fun - if you have any sense of humor at all!
Calvin Klein

One doesn't have a sense of humor. It has you.
Larry Gelbart

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