Andrew Carnegie on Success
Andrew Carnegie might not be the first name that comes to mind when thinking of funny quotes - however, he has a few to offer, with a fair slice of wisdom included. Try this one for size:
"People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing."
Are you reaping or planting? (Robert Louis Stevenson)
Within the world of funny quotes, Robert Louis Stevenson can be relied on to bring us some inspiration:
"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap ... but by the seeds you plant!"
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894)

Lord Rosebery's advice to Queen Victoria
The following funny quote relates to the role Speaker within the House of Commons (the lower of the UK’s two chambers).
“There is much exaggeration about the attainments required for a Speaker. All Speakers are highly successful, all Speakers are deeply regretted, and are generally announced to be irreplaceable. But a Speaker is soon found, and found, almost invariably, among the mediocrities of the House.”
