More From Thomas Carlyle
- "Men seldom, or rather never for a length of time and deliberately, rebel against anything that does not deserve rebelling against."
- "Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better, Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time."
- "Sarcasm I now see to be, in general, the language of the devil; for which reason I have long since as good as renounced it."
More In Humor
- "At the risk of appearing disingenuous, I don’t really think of myself as ‘writing humor.’ I’m simply reporting on the world I observe, which is frequently hilarious."― Richard Russo
- "If you’re that hypersensitive about color and don’t have a sense of humor, don’t marry out of your race."― Laura Schlessinger
- "Humor is imperative, more important than food. You have a choice when someone dies. You can lie down or get back into life. Do something for someone else."― Doris Roberts
