A sense of humor judges one's actions and the actions of others from a wider reference . . . and finds them incongruous. It dampens enthusiasm; it mocks hope; it pardons shortcomings; it consoles failure. It recommends moderation.
Source: The Eighth Day, 1967.-- Thornton Wilder, (Apr 17 1897-1975), US playwright, novelist; He is well known for his plays Our Town, 1938 and The Skin of Our Teeth, 1942.
