Quotes about humour, page 2

You Need Them
At a later stage of your life,
Keep your son in good humour;
Keep your daughter in good humour.
You need them and not they need you.

Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 69
The earth receives showers from heaven and gives to it only dust. Every vessel exudes what it contains.
If my humour appears to thee unbecoming
Lose not thy own good humour.
So I wrote what I hoped would be science fiction, I was not at all sure if what I wrote would be acceptable even. But I don't say that I consciously wrote with humour. Humour is a part of you that comes out.

Carbon
As organs are built up on carbon
Organs are nothing but carban.
Humours are built up on sorrow.
Humour is nothing but sorrow.
Sorrow is wood, that humour burns.
After a glow, the wood turns ash.

wins our hearts over

one belongs to
if our heart is filled with
the universal teaching of love?

Universal joke
You can’t get really near
the Beloved Friend
who some call God
without a sense of humour;
humour; and paradox:
sadness brings humility,
humility catches God’s ear…
now you’re laughing for sheer joy.
And have you heard this one…:
you can’t take anything from this world
without the world taking something from you…
isn’t that the best joke that ever was…?
Cows, who ruminate as well as Rumi ever did
Call it the Unified Field Theory.

Memory Bag
I sit in silence with my own blank thoughts
Bored out of my mind my imagination rots
I turned to music, television, the books on my shelf
I gave up, looked up and said to God, 'Humour Me'
The sky grew darker as i waited to see,
A bag of memories forgotten, dropped on me
The past, the good things and the bad,
all the wonderful laughs that i had
Going through the memory bag kept me occupied
more than television, music, or books on shelves
God looked down on me and said, 'Humour yourself'

A Smile Makes All Smile!
Literature's duty is to make all smile and think;
Photographer says 'smile please! ' before a snap;
Facial smile creates best impression of one to all!
Cheryl love's Sunday Smiling makes me smile too
When all are out of mood and write not much now!
So, I write a poem on Smile to smile with all here!
Smile is the mark of a gentleman, they say, I know;
I always talk with a little smile with all all matters
As I am a romantic type loving humour in stories!
Clever guys and girls ever conceal matters with smile,
Accomplish missions before the culprits are aware of
As humour is the spice of life in the world of romance!
Even a dull matter said with a smile all listen and think;
Inflected by smile all smile and think forgetting woes!
Smile makes woeful heart light turning grief into joy...!
