No mind is thoroughly well organized that is deficient in a sense of humor.

A mind too active is no mind at all.
Humor is probably the most significant characteristics of the human mind. Far more significant than reason. In fact, reason is actually a very cheap commodity.
It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well.
I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.
A weak mind is like a microscope, which magnifies trifling things, but cannot receive great ones.
In my experience, if people don't have a sense of humor, they are usually not very good scientists, either.
It has always surprised me how little attention philosophers have paid to humor, since it is a more significant process of mind than reason. Reason can only sort out perceptions, but the humor process is involved in changing them.
Anyone in the humor business isn't thinking clearly if he doesn't surround himself with idea people. Otherwise, you settle for mediocrity - or you burn yourself out.
One doesn't have a sense of humor. It has you.
The thing about a sense of humour is that it's not bestowed on the good. It's just randomly dished out.
