Amusement Quotations
Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
Mahatma Gandhi

Lewis Carroll
I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.
Dolly Parton
A marriage is no amusement but a solemn act, and generally a sad one.
Queen Victoria
You can't live on amusement. It is the froth on water - an inch deep and then the mud.
George MacDonald
I'm not here for your amusement. You're here for mine.
Johnny Rotten

Joseph Addison
I'm very good with technology, I always have been, and with machines in general. They seem not threatening like other people find them, but a source of fun and amusement.
Brian Eno
Death seems to provide the minds of the Anglo-Saxon race with a greater fund of amusement than any other single subject.
Dorothy L. Sayers
