There are funny quotes and inspirational quotes, but can a quote be both funny and inspirational? I think there are many quotes that are funny, often by being sarcastic, that carry a truly insightful and inspiring message about the nature of life. Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde are two authors that I think have shown the ability to use humor in the service of insight.

Since I began Daily Inspiration - Daily Quote, I have collected a very large number of quotations, but my organization of those quotes was a little lacking. I have created a new home for the best of my collection of inspirational quotes - including a section of funny quotes that I consider to be also insightful.

To make it easier for you to remember how to find my inspirational quotes collection and to share them with your friends, I have put the index at www.quotes-inspirational.com
