Amusement Quotations

Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
Mohandas Gandhi

While grief is fresh, every attempt to divert only irritates. You must wait till it be digested, and then amusement will dissipate the remains of it.

Lewis Carroll

Joseph Addison

I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.
Dolly Parton
