Quotes to Live By

I believe humor is one of the most important things that get us through life. Many times, a good sense of humor is the first thing that attracts someone to a potential mate. People who are funny and appreciate a good joke (even at their expense) are always nice to have around, especially when things don't go so well. Sometimes you don't know why something is funny, it just is. E.B. White said, "Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it." It's just best to let it be and laugh. Humor has a lot to do with living in the moment, thinking on your feet, taking what just happened and putting a comical spin on it. With all that said, here are my favorite quotes concerning humor:

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

"If you could choose one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor." - Jennifer Jones

"Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven." - Mark Twain

"A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road." - Henry Ward Beecher

"Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing." - William James
