Wit penetrates; humor envelops. Wit is a function of verbal intelligence; humor is imagination operating on good nature. John Kennedy had wit, and so did Lincoln, who also had abundant humor; Reagan was mostly humor.

I fight with love, and I laugh with rage.
You've gotta live light enough to see the humor,
And long enough to see some change.Ani DiFranco
We're overdue for a dream come true.
Long time, nothing new.
We're overdue for a dream come true.Tom Petty
He was a master of humor. He believed that humor is the test of the natural, of the sensible, of the truth. To him most persons who have no sense of humor are generally absurd.
Epifanio de los Santos
Humanity has but three great enemies: fever, famine, and war; of these by far the greatest, by far the most terrible, is fever.
