"The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself."
- Ben Franklin

"But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."
-Carl Sagan

Mind you, Carl, Bozo's was laughed at because he worked at it, but I get the point you were trying to make. By the way, did you know that Bozo was a Democrat?

The Sagan quote was brought to my attention by Lee, on Making Light. For those who are interested, there are more quotes on the subject of laughter at http://workinghumor.com/quotes/laughter.shtml
