Principles of Freedom

CHAPTER X
10/16

Let us remember a revolution will surely fail when its leaders have no sense of humour.
V But our humour will not be a saving humour unless it is of high order.

A great humorist is as rare as a great poet or a great philosopher.

Though ours may not be great we must keep it in the line of greatness.
Remember, great humour must be made out of ourselves rather than out of others.

The fine humorist is delightfully courteous; the commonplace wit, invariably insulting.

We must keep two things in mind, that in laughter at our own folly is the beginning of wisdom; and the keenest wit is pure fun, never coarse fun.
