Joking

“

Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee
And I’ll forgive Thy great big one on me.

Robert Frost

“

A good joke is the one ultimate and sacred thing which cannot be criticized. Our relations with a good joke are direct and even divine relations.

G. K. Chesterton

“

“Fun”—it always seemed to leave you at a loss.

Elizabeth Bishop

“

Haste thee, Nymph, and bring with thee
Jest, and youthful jollity,
Quips and cranks and wanton wiles,
Nods and becks and wreathed smiles.

John Milton

“

There was a young lady named Bright,
Whose speed was far faster than light;
She set out one day
In a relative way,
And returned home the previous night.

Arthur Henry Reginald Buller

“

Life is a jest; and all things show it.
I thought so once; but now I know it.

John Gay
