- Quotes by Stephen Butler Leacock
“I can see nothing funny in the Cockney humour. The Cockney accent seems to me one of the most debased forms of utterance. I like nearly all the forms of broken-down English – Yorkshire and Somerset accents and so on – bit no outside nation can admire the Cockney. Cockney humour invariably depends upon bad taste, cruelty, or callousness.” - Quotes by Walter Savage Landor
“The better wit is, the more dangerous it is.” - Quotes by Charles Lamb
“Jokes come in the candles.” - Quotes by Milan Kundera
“The sound of laughter is like the vaulted dome of a temple of happiness.” - Quotes by Garrison Keillor
“Humour, a good sense of it, is to Americans what manhood is to Spaniards and we will go to great lengths toprove it.”

There are many things a man can resist – pain, torture, loss of love ones – but laughter ultimately he cannot resist.” - Quotes by James Langston Hughes
“Humour is laughing at what you haven’t got when you ought to have it.” - Quotes by Ian Hay
“What do you mean, funny? Funny peculiar, or funny ha-ha” - Quotes by John Gay
“He makes a foe who makes a jest.” - Quotes by Robert Lee Frost
