Text Quotes
Wit is the rarest quality to be met with among people of education, and the most common among the uneducated (Wit Quotes)
The more wit you have, the more good nature you must show, to induce people to pardon your superiority, for that is no easy matter (Wit Quotes)
Wit, like poetry, is insusceptible of being constructed upon rules founded merely in reason. Like faith, it exists independent of reason, and sometimes in hostility to it (Wit Quotes)
Wit never appears to greater advantage than when it is successfully exerted to relieve from a dilemma, palliate a deficiency, or cover a retreat (Wit Quotes)
Fine sense and exalted sense are not half so useful as common sense. There are forty men of wit for one man of sense; and he that will carry nothing about him but gold, will be every day at a loss for want of readier change (Wit Quotes)
Fashion is always silly, for, before it can spread far, it must be calculated for silly people; as examples of sense, wit, or ingenuity could be imitated only by a few (Wit Quotes)
Passion very often makes the wisest men fools, and very often too inspires the greatest fools with wit (Wit Quotes)
I think humor is warmer, and wit is colder. Wit is judgment, whereas humor invites some sort of response (Wit Quotes)
Wit, after all, is a mighty tart, pungent ingredient, and much too acid for some stomachs; but honest good humor is the oil and wine of a merry meeting (Wit Quotes)
A man of remarkable genius may afford to pass by a piece of wit, if it happen to border on abuse. A little genius is obliged to catch at every witticism indiscriminately (Wit Quotes)
Some people seem born with a head in which the thin partition that divides great wit from folly is wanting (Wit Quotes)
My wit is sharper then the finest mustache, and when I walk among men I make truths ring like spurs (Wit Quotes)
Sarcasm is not the rapier of wit its wielders seem to believe it to be, but merely a club: it may, by dint of brute force, occasionally raise bruises, but it never cuts or pierces (Wit Quotes)
Reader, if you are gifted with nerves like mine, aspire to any character but that of a wit (Wit Quotes)
One wit, like a knuckle of ham in soup, gives a zest and flavour to the dish, but more than one serves only to spoil the pottage (Wit Quotes)
Wit is brushwood; judgment, timber; the one gives the greatest flame, the other yields the most durable heat; and both meeting make the best fire (Wit Quotes)
Wit is something more than a gymnastic trick of the intellect; true wit implies a beam of thought into the essence of a question, a flash that lights up a situation. Wit suggests the delicate but delightful play of a rapier in the hands of a master (Wit Quotes)
Wit resembles a coquette; those who the most eagerly run after it are the least favored (Wit Quotes)
That wit is truly amiable, which gladdens and enlivens every thing, which shines with a lustre gentle, but not faint, and powerful, but not glaring (Wit Quotes)
The next best thing to being witty one’s self, is to be able to be able to quote another’s wit (Wit Quotes)
Men are most apt to believe what they least understand; and through the lust of human wit obscure things are more easily credited (Wit Quotes)
Silence is one great art of conversation. He is not a fool who knows when to hold his tongue; and a person may gain credit for sense, eloquence, wit, who merely says nothing to lessen the opinion which others have of these qualities in themselves (Wit Quotes)
Too much brilliance has its disadvantages, and misplaced wit may raise a laugh, but often beheads a topic of profound interest (Wit Quotes)
A perfect judge will read each word of wit with the same spirit that its author writ (Wit Quotes)
There is not the least wit in my nature. I am a very matter of fact, plain spoken being, and may blunder on the borders of a repartee for half an hour together without striking it out (Wit Quotes)
Wit is the salt of conversation, not the food, and few things in the world are more wearying than a sarcastic attitude towards life (Wit Quotes)
Wit is artificial; humor is natural. Wit is accidental; humor is inevitable. Wit is born of conscious effort; humor, of the allotted ironies of fate. Wit can be expressed only in language; humor can be developed sufficiently in situation (Wit Quotes)
Neatness of phrase is so closely akin to wit that it is often accepted as its substitute (Wit Quotes)
A funny person is funny only for so long, but a wit can sit down and go on being spellbinding forever (Wit Quotes)
Some brains are barren grounds, that will not bring seed or fruit forth, unless they are well manured with the old wit which is raked from other writers and speakers (Wit Quotes)
