AGNES REPPLIER American essayist (1858 - 1950) Edged tools are dangerous things to handle, and not infrequently do much hurt.       - [Tools] Laughter springs from the lawless part of our nature.       - [Laughter] People who cannot recognize a palpable absurdity are very much in the way of civilization.       - [Stupidity] The clearsighted do not rule the world, but they sustain and console it.       - [Perception] The thinkers of the world should by rights be guardians of the world's mirth.       - [Mirth] Humor distorts nothing, and only false gods are laughed off their earthly pedestals.       - Points of View [Humor] Last Revised: 2009 April 2 Copyright © 1999-2009 John C.
