Ash to ash and dust to dust; yup that is what we reflect on today, Ash Wednesday. Since it is Ash Wednesday,how about some quotes on the reality of our human condition, seen through a humourous lens of course; it wouldn’t do to be morbid and depressing about reality. As my kids say, ” It is what it is, right?” You can’t do anything about reality except embrace it with a wry sense of humour.
If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide. Mahatma Gandhi

You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything, even poverty, you can survive it. Bill Cosby
A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It’s jolted by every pebble on the road. Henry Ward Beecher
Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is. Francis Bacon
