"One man's theology is another man's belly laugh."	Robert Anson Heinlein
"One man's religion is another man's belly laugh."	Robert Anson Heinlein
"They say the seeds of what we will do are in all of us, but it always seemed to me that in those who make jokes in life the seeds are covered with better soil and with a higher grade of manure."	Ernest Miller Hemingway
"Life can be wildly tragic at times, and I've had my share. But whatever happens to you, you have to keep a slightly comic attitude. In the final analysis, you have got not to forget to laugh."	Katharine Houghton Hepburn
"I can think of no better way of redeeming this tragic world today than love and laughter. Too many of the young have forgotten how to laugh, and too many of the elders have forgotten how to love. Would not our lives be lightened if only we could all learn to laugh more easily at ourselves and to love one another?"	Theodore M. Hesburgh
"There are people who can talk sensibly about a controversial issue; they're called humorists."	Cullen Hightower

"Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face."	Victor Hugo
"Separated lovers cheat absence by a thousand fancies which have their own reality. They are prevented from seeing one another and they cannot write; nevertheless they find countless mysterious ways of corresponding, by sending each other the song of birds, the scent of flowers, the laughter of children, the light of the sun, the sighing of the wind, and the gleam of the stars-all the beauties of creation."	Victor Hugo
"At least one way of measuring the freedom of any society is the amount of comedy that is permitted, and clearly a healthy society permits more satirical comment than a repressive, so that if comedy is to function in some way as a safety release then it must obviously deal with these taboo areas. This is part of the responsibility we accord our licensed jesters, that nothing be excused the searching light of comedy. If anything can survive the probe of humour it is clearly of value, and conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special privileges which should not be granted."	Eric Idle
"Most comics make jokes to defend themselves against what they see as a hostile and inhumane world … often a deeply felt rage."	Samuel S. Janus
"If you could choose one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor."	Jennifer Jones
"WARNING: Humor may be hazardous to your illness."	Ellie Katz
"Laughter is complete rapture vocalized."	Allison Kearney
"There are three things which are real: God, human folly, and laughter. The first two are beyond our comprehension. So we must do what we can with the third."	John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"You can't win at everything, but you can laugh at everything."	Robert Killinger
"I'd give Charles Darwin videotapes of 'Geraldo,' 'Beavis and Butt-head' and 'The McLaughlin Group.' I would be interested in seeing if he still believes in evolution."	Dean Koontz
"Don't wait to be happy to laugh... You may die and never have laughed!"	Jean de LaBruyere
