Men live by intervals of reason under the sovereignty of humor and passion.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Men are rather reasoning than reasonable animals, for the most part governed by the impulse of passion.
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.
If we may believe our logicians, man is distinguished from all other creatures by the faculty of laughter. He has a heart capable of mirth, and naturally disposed to it.
Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he isn't. A sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is.
Humor is an affirmation of dignity, a declaration of man's superiority to all that befalls him.
Men are limited by the knowledge of their minds, the worth of their characters and the principles upon which they are building their lives.
It is in his pleasure that a man really lives; it is from his leisure that he constructs the true fabric of self.
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way.
Men are governed by lines of intellect - women: by curves of emotion.
Nothing in man is more serious than his sense of humor; it is the sign that he wants all the truth.
