Sarcastic Quotes, Sayings about Sarcasm

Sarcasm is, for some, the true spice of life. Used in its best form, sarcasm is one of the most effective types of comedy. But more than that, sarcasm may be the most effective way to learn the truth about life, love and about being human. Some of the most intelligent, perceptive men and women in the world not only use sarcasm on a regular basis, they have preserved their view of it in wonderful sarcastic quotes. These statements range from observations on children, money, politics, unhealthy places to live and how to deal with those you don’t particularly care for.

Of course, Mark Twain, the famous author and philosopher, is known for his many sarcastic quotes. So is the acerbic H.L. Mencken. Other well-known celebrities have joined in with sarcasm preserved for the ages. Winston Churchill was known to carefully toss a phrase that carried with it a single meaning (though the object of his sarcasm might misunderstand the intention). The great Groucho Marx combined sarcasm and humor to say more about others than most of us can even imagine. If you want to make a cutting remark and leave your listener open-mouthed, try one of the sarcastic quotes given to us through the years.
