Wit Quotes

There are some people as obtuse in recognizing an argument as they are in appreciating wit. You couldn't drive it into their heads with a hammer Picture Quote #1

Wit, like money, bears an extra value when rung down immediately it is wanted. Men pay severely who require credit Picture Quote #1

Wit has it's place in debate; in controversy it is a legitimate weapon, offensive and defensive Picture Quote #1
