Humor can be dissected, as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind.

You can't make fun of anything anymore. Comedy is the last bastion of free speech. Let's try not to kill it.

Never try and make a comedian laugh with one of his own jokes.

There isn't such thing as a new joke possible.

That is the saving grace of humor, if you fail no one is laughing at you.

Anything that can be laughed out of this world ought not to stay in it.

There should be no such thing as a class of females vulgarized by the necessity of finding daily amusement.

Nothing justifies profanity.

Baseless innuendo does not contribute to serious debate.

No culture can live, if it attempts to be exclusive.

Don't cut what you can untie.

You cannot drag a man's conscience before any tribunal, and no one is answerable for his religious opinions to any power on earth.

Humor must not professedly teach, and it must not professedly preach, but it must do both if it would live forever. By forever, I mean thirty years.
