Here, There, and Everywhere

I love:
1-Telling jokes on various characters.
2-Drawing caricatures, specially on those who don´t like them.
3-Laughing at least once every day.
4-Trying to live happy the way God wants me to live.

This is an excellent article about humor..i like all the quotes...

GREAT post! In an age where we're busy working away, running from meeting to meeting, email to email, tweet to tweet, facebook comment to facebook comment, etc. we sometimes forget the most important thing our life: the ability to smile and laugh! :)

My 2 favorites:

"Laugh as much as possible, always laugh. It's the sweetest thing one can do for oneself & one's fellow human beings." - Maya Angelou

"A good laugh overcomes more difficulties and dissipates more dark clouds than any other one thing." - Laura Ingalls Wilder

If I could add to this list, I would add these 2:

"The most wasted of all days is one without laughter."
- E.E. Cummings

"A man isn't poor if he can still laugh."
- Raymond Hitchcock

Thanks for sharing!

"If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you."

Thanks for including me and my quotation in this august list of personalities. My passion is to heal the world through humor. My latest book, Learning to Laugh When You Feel Like Crying, shows readers how humor can help even after a loss.

"Humor is the affectionate communication of insight." - Leo Rosten

The best one. After that it's Oscar Wilde's, but come'on we all know Oscar has the best collection of qoutes of all, or at least one of them.

And, as someone else above said...yes...if you're going to tell people the truth, make them laugh, or they'll kill you. So true.

“It’s good to laugh at people, especially if they are ugly."

--Mahatma Gandhi

Dear Ms Sarkis,

Thanks for the lovely quotes. There is one missing though: "Wit Makes Its Own Welcome And Levels All Distinctions.", which I believe was said by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Best regards,

Comedy just pokes at problems, rarely confronts them squarely. Drama is like a plate of meat and potatoes, comedy is rather the dessert, a bit like meringue.
Woody Allen

"Comedy is acting out optimism." - Robin Williams
That is so true!
Love this actor and comedian!
