“The believers have four signs: good humor, tactfulness, kind heartedness and openhandedness”

“Tact is after all a kind of mind-reading.”

“Harshness is for the good of a boy, soft-heartedness will ruin him.”

“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.”

“What in the world is this abomination?”
Lissa, only slightly more tactful, asked, “Adrian, is this some kind of joke?”

“I love people who have a good sense of humor, tell a good story, tell a good joke.”

“I do so dearly believe that no half-heartedness and no worldly fear must turn us aside from following the light unflinchingly.”

“I don't believe in your "Good". I believe in human kindness.”

“Humor itself is a kind strange thing in the first place, it's kind of a short-circuit in the brain around horror that saves us from having to face it totally.”

“A woman has to be intelligent, have charm, a sense of humor, and be kind. It's the same qualities I require from a man.”
