“Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand.”
“Will a day come when the race will detect the funniness of these juvenilities and laugh at them—and by laughing at them destroy them? For your race, in its poverty, has unquestionably one really effective weapon—laughter. Power, Money, Persuasion, Supplication, Persecution--these can lift at a colossal humbug,—push it a little— crowd it a little—weaken it a little, century by century: but only Laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of Laughter nothing can stand.- "The Chronicle of Young Satan," Mysterious Stranger Manuscripts”
“No problem can stand the assault of sustained thinking.”
“Assaults against women and children are assaults against any potential positive future for the world.”
“Almost everything a person thinks is a lie, and an assault against the natural soul.”
“Every day brings a chance to live free of regret and with as much joy, fun, and laughter as you can stand.”
