Quality of Humor.

A famous definition Of the quality OF
humor is this: For this humor is an
adjunct divine; 1t is a value of life; II
makes for greater things than clean
laughter from the lungs. 1t is the root
Of tolerance. the proof of patience; L
suffers long and is kind; serves to
tune each little life harmony with thu
world harmony about it; keeps tht
heart Of man sweet his soul modest
And at the end. when the light thick
ems and the mesh grows tight humol
can shape the suffering yigils of the
slcepless. can soften pain can brighten
the ashy road to death"
