“Humor depends on the teller and hearer of the jest standing in the same place.”
“Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit.”
“It stands to reason that anyone who learns to live well will die well. The skills are the same: being present in the moment, and humble, and brave, and keeping a sense of humor. (361)”
“The Gates of Heaven and the Gates of Hell are the same gates. It just depends which side you're standing on when you walk through.”
“If you continue to dig the same hole in the same place in your life, eventually you will be standing in a grave.”
“Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.”
