In conversation, humor is worth more than wit and easiness more than knowledge.

Humor is something that thrives between man's aspirations and his limitations. There is more logic in humor than in anything else. Because, you see, humor is truth.

Humour has to have a huge nugget of truth to be funny. You cannot laugh at something unbelievable. Whenever I say something on a lighter note, I am basically unwrapping the truth from a different perspective, and that makes it funny.

Humor brings insight and tolerance. Irony brings a deeper and less friendly understanding.

The wit makes fun of other persons; the satirist makes fun of the world; the humorist makes fun of himself, but in so doing, he identifies himself with people - that is, people everywhere, not for the purpose of taking them apart, but simply revealing their true nature.

Actually being funny is mostly telling the truth about things.

If I had to describe my sense of humor, I would say it's contemporary wit, you know what I'm saying?

Humor's an excellent way to make a point more palatable and/or relatable.

Wit is the appearance, the external flash of imagination. Thus its divinity, and the witty character of mysticism.
