Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.
HUMOR, LIFE HAS A MEASURE OF SORROW
In truth, politeness is artificial good humor, it covers the natural want of it, and ends by rendering habitual a substitute nearly equivalent to the real virtue.
HUMOR, POLITENESS IS ARTIFICIAL GOOD HUMOR
A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road.
It's good to be able to laugh at yourself and the problems you face in life. Sense of humor can save you.
The first ingredient in conversation is truth, the next good sense, the third good humor, and the fourth wit.
