It is the wit, the policy, of sin to hate those men whom we have abused (Wit Quotes)

Rich apparel has strange virtues; it makes him that hath it without means esteemed for an excellent wit; he that enjoys it with means puts the world in remembrance of his means (Wit Quotes)
It is not virtue, wisdom, valour, wit, strength, comeliness of shape, or amplest merit, that woman’s love can win, or long inherit; but what it is, hard is to say, harder to hit (Wit Quotes)
I hate the countrie’s dirt and manners, yet I love the silence; I embrace the wit; a courtship, flowing here in full tide. But loathe the expense, the vanity and pride. No place each way is happy (Wit Quotes)
Jealousy, an eminently credulous and suspicious passion, allows fancy the greatest possible play. But it does not bestow wit, it banishes all sense (Wit Quotes)
Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools that have not wit enough to be honest (Wit Quotes)
Superiority in wit is more frequently the cause of vanity than superiority of judgment; as the person that wears an ornamental sword is even more vain than he that wears a useful one (Wit Quotes)

Wit in women is a jewel, which, unlike all others, borrows lustre from its setting, rather than bestows it; since nothing is so easy as to fancy a very beautiful woman extremely witty (Wit Quotes)
Wit, like hunger, will be with great difficulty restrained from falling on vice and ignorance, where there is great plenty and variety of food (Wit Quotes)
The best thing next to wit is a consciousness that it is not in us; without wit, a man might then know how to behave himself, so as not to appear to be a fool or a coxcomb (Wit Quotes)
It is a certain rule that wit and passion are entirely incompatible. When the affections are moved, there is no place for the imagination (Wit Quotes)
That which we call wit consists much in quickness and tricks, and is so full of lightness that it seldom goes with judgment and solidity; but when they do meet, it is commonly in an honest man (Wit Quotes)
His wit run him out of his money, and now his poverty has run him out of his wits (Wit Quotes)
Even when there is a real stock of wit, yet the wittiest sayings and sentences will be found in a great measure the issue of chance, and nothing else but so many lucky hits of a roving fancy (Wit Quotes)
It is by vivacity and wit that man shines in company; but trite jokes and loud laughter reduce him to a buffoon (Wit Quotes)
