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.

If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito. If silly things were not done, intelligent things would never happen. From the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step. You cannot make an ass drink if he is not thirsty. Laughter is the shortest distance between two people. Lord, deliver me from the man who never makes a mistake, and also from the man who makes the same mistake twice. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. Teach a man to create an artificial shortage of fish and he will eat steak. A sense of humor is the only divine quality of man. If you think you are too small to make a difference, you haven't spent a night with a mosquito. Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at.
