“A man who can laugh at himself is truly blessed, for he will never lack for amusement.”

“Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused,'" Gabriel quoted. "One of the unrecorded Beatitudes.”

“Blessed is he who has learned to laugh at himself for he shall never cease to be entertained.”

“The person who knows how to laugh at himself will never cease to be amused.”

“The man who is meek is not even sensitive about himself. He is not always watching himself and his own interests. He is not always on the defensive… To be truly meek means we no longer protect ourselves, because we see there is nothing worth defending… The man who is truly meek never pities himself, he is never sorry for himself. He never talks to himself and says, “You are having a hard time, how unkind these people are not to understand you.”

“I live in my own place. I never copied anybody, not even half. And at any master who lacks the grace to laugh at himself, I laugh.”
