“Life has three rules: Paradox, Humor, and Change.- Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste your time trying to figure it out.- Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure- Change: Know that nothing ever stays the same.”

“Humor and paradox are often the only ways to respond to life's sorrow with grace.”

“Keep your sense of humor, my friend; if you don't have a sense of humor it just isn't funny anymore. ”

“Life makes fools of all of us sooner or later. But keep your sense of humor and you'll at least be able to take your humiliations with some measure of grace. In the end, you know, its our own expectations that crush us.”

“Human beings are unable to be about the serious business of living and building societies if they feel compelled to always clown or entertain others. People do not take you seriously if you don't take yourself seriously. A sense of humor brings necessary balance to an organized life, but a life of humor blinds one to life.”

“Father said I have no sense of humor at all. He said I was unequipped to meet life because I have no sense of humor.”
