Humour Random Quotations - 24

Mark Twain
Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our irritations and resentments slip away, and a sunny spirit takes their place.

C. C. Colton
Anguish of mind has driven thousands to suicide; anguish of body, none. This proves that the health of the mind is of far more consequence to our happiness, than the health of the body, although both are deserving of much more attention than either of them receive.

Carl Gustav Jung
The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances if there is any reaction, both are transformed.

Eleanor Anna Roosevelt, Remarks at presentation of booklet on human rights
Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home- so close and so smallthat they cannot be seen on any map of the world. Yet they arethe world of the individual person: the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, and equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them so close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.

Henry David Thoreau
Why should we be in such desperate hast to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

Charles Babbage
Propose to any englishman any principle, or any instrument, however admirable, and you will observe that the whole effort of the english mind is directed to find a difficulty, defect or an impossibility in it.

Theodore Roszak
The question grows more troubling with each passing year how much of what yesterday's science fiction regarded as unspeakably dreadful has become today's award-winning research

Sarah Bernhardt
Life engenders life. Energy creates energy. It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich.

George Bernard Shaw
If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.
= = = = = = = = = =
Bertrand Russell, from the essay "The Science to Save Us From Science"
But all who are not lunitics are agreed about certain things: That it is better to be alive than dead, better to be adequately fed than starved, better to be free than to be a slave. Many people desire these things only for themselves and their friends; they are quite content that their enemies should suffer. These people can be refuted by science: Mankind has become so much one family that we cannot insure our own prosperity except by insuring that of everyone else. If you wish to be happy yourself, you must resign yourself to seeing others also happy.

Chuck Norris
Men are like steel. When they lose their temper, they lose their worth.

Vicomte de Chateaubriand
You are not superior just because you see the world in an odious light.
