Robert Frost on humor

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I…I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.

Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

George Bernard Shaw1856–1950The Doctor’s Dilemma (1911), Act V

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

Mark Twain1835–1910“What Paul Bourget Thinks of Us?” (1897)

You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything, even poverty, you can survive it.

Bill Cosbyborn 1937
