Red Skelton (1913 – 1997)

On Humor:

“All men make mistakes, but married men find out about them sooner.”

On Comedy:

“If by chance some day you’re not feeling well and you should remember some silly thing I’ve said or done and it brings back a smile to your face or a chuckle to your heart, then my purpose as your clown has been fulfilled.”

On Principles:

“Our principles are the springs of our actions. Our actions, the springs of our happiness or misery. Too much care, therefore, cannot be taken in forming our principles.”
