It has always surprised me how little attention philosophers have paid to humor since it is a more significant process of mind than reason. Reason can only sort out perceptions but the humor process is involved in changing them.

A little perspective like a little humor goes a long way.

If you can get humor and seriousness at the same time you've created a special little thing and that's what I'm looking for because if you get pompous you lose everything.

Humor does not rescue us from unhappiness but enables us to move back from it a little.

I think I have always had a little humor.

Comedy has to be based on truth. You take the truth and you put a little curlicue at the end.

I hope to stay on 'Glee ' I hope to still be a 'Housewife' and I hope to do 'The New Normal.' I just want to do it all! Why not? I'm only going to be young for a little while longer.

You don't know what someone's going to walk away from a movie with but you hope it's something positive but if nothing you want them most basically to be entertained and engaged. That's your job. But you also hope to give them something to chew on or maybe some insight into the human existence you hope a little bit. Not to sound too lofty.

You travel with the hope that something unexpected will happen. It has to do with enjoying being lost and figuring it out and the satisfaction. I always get a little disappointed when I know too well where I'm going or when I've lived in a place so long that there's no chance I could possibly get lost.

'Little Miss Sunshine' snowballed. It was a tiny movie. We shot it in 30 days and it was really fun to do but it was one of those small movies that you don't hold out huge hope for.

I don't believe that I'm better than anybody but I do believe that I'll try harder than most and I hope that people just join me for a little bit of a ride.

I am proud and more than a little excited to be asked to work with Faber in an editorial capacity. It is my dearest hope that we will produce some fantastic books together.

If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true there would be little hope of advance.

For all their current prestige Osama bin Laden and the suicide bombers are still regarded in all but the most desperate districts of Gaza or Peshawar as romantics with little chance of more than symbolic victories however bloody and brutal. That gives both the Middle East and the West a small and distant hope of security.

I try to make my life about service and hope that one day we can all 'see' a little better because God is with everyone and everywhere.

The only people who live in a post-black world are four people who live in a little white house on Pennsylvania Avenue. The idea that America is post-racial or post-black because a man I admire Barack Obama is president of the United States is a joke. And I hope no one will even wonder about this crazy fiction again.

I hope my tongue in prune juice smothers If I belittle dogs and mothers.

My mother was one of seven girls whose parents went to bed hungry so their children wouldn't. My father lost his mother when he was nine. He left school and went to work for the next 70 years. They emigrated to America with little more than the hope of a better life.

All kids need is a little help a little hope and somebody who believes in them.

When I was young my ambition was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope is to leave the world a little better for having been there.

Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.

Be prepared work hard and hope for a little luck. Recognize that the harder you work and the better prepared you are the more luck you might have.

A whole stack of memories never equal one little hope.

I have a little kitchen office at home where I do all my kids' stuff.
