Gift of Humor I rather be strong, affectionate, loyal, noble minded, than be the best humorist in the world, yet if the gift of humor be added to these graces, you have a combination that is absolutely irresistible, because you have a perfect sense of proportion that never allows emotion to degenerate into gush or virtue into rigidity. Thus I say that humor is a kind of divine and crowning grace in a character, because it means an artistic sense of proportion, a true and vital tolerance, a power of infinite forgiveness.
