Wit Quotes

What splendor nature proffered to the eye of any man who had half the wit to appreciate it! Picture Quote #1

The belly (i.e. necessity) is the teacher of art and the liberal bestower of wit Picture Quote #1

I can’t stay friends with anyone who doesn’t have a passion for something; and, generally speaking, artistic people, creative people carry it right into the kitchen, too. They have a zest for life; the excitement of living. All of the great eaters I’ve known are also men of great wit Picture Quote #1

Baby girl you need to stop it, all that pride and self esteem got you angry bout this girl I’m wit in all them magazines Picture Quote #1

A lot of my comic influences are distinctly American: Woody Allen and Bob Hope, for example. They were always the underdogs who were using wit to sort of battle their way through. And it seems to me that a lot of contemporary U.S. comedies are shot through with losers. None of the characters in ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ for instance, are studs Picture Quote #1

Nobody thanks a witty man for politeness when he puts himself on a par with a society in which it would not be polite to show one’s wit Picture Quote #1

Education always continues. We all know that beauty fades, but what stays is a person’s personality, their sense of humor, their wit, what they’re interested in. That’s what really shines Picture Quote #1

Who is’t that to woman’s beauty would submit, And yet refuse the fetters of their wit? Picture Quote #1

Outward beauty is not enough; to be attractive a woman must use words, wit, playfulness, sweet-talk, and laughter to transcend the gifts of nature Picture Quote #1

Wit is the sudden marriage of ideas which, before their union, were not perceived to have any relation Picture Quote #1

If a man’s wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics; for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so little, he must begin again Picture Quote #1

Wit invents; inspiration reveals. The inventions of wit are conceits - metaphors and paradoxes - that discover the secret correspondences that unite beings and things among and with themselves; inspiration is condemned to dissipate its revelations - unless a form can be found to contain them Picture Quote #1

We are always more disposed to laugh at nonsense than at genuine wit; because the nonsense is more agreeable to us, being more comfortable to our natures Picture Quote #1

There are just certain things that turn my head. It may be a girl’s sense of humor, it may be her wit, or her belief system; it could be a lot of different things Picture Quote #1

In the language of politics, there is only one translation for the phrase ‘hope and change,’ to wit: ‘big, fat government.’ Picture Quote #1

Stuart Rojstaczer writes with enormous wit, style and empathy, and The Mathematician’s Shiva is a big-hearted, rollickingly funny novel that’s impossible to put down. A tremendous debut Picture Quote #1

Wit goes for the jugular, not the jocular, and it’s the opposite of football; instead of building character, it tears it down Picture Quote #1

Come, come, leave business to idlers, and wisdom to fools: they have need of ‘em: wit be my faculty, and pleasure my occupation, and let father Time shake his glass Picture Quote #1

And new Philosophy calls all in doubt, the element of fire is quite put out; the Sun is lost, and the earth, and no mans wit can well direct him where to look for it Picture Quote #1

I’ll be there for you, I will care for you, I keep thinking you just don’t know. Tryna run from that, say you’re done wit that, on your face girl it just don’t show Picture Quote #1

I think hip-hop does a very good job of infusing comedy and humor and wit into music, a lot more than other genres Picture Quote #1

I’ve never, ever in my life touched a photographer. Some of the cruellest things I’ve ever said have been to photographers who are chasing me down the street, some of the sharpest, most efficient emotional barbs. And they know that in that moment, in that one-to-one wit competition, they just got smashed Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It is unpardonable conceit not to laugh at your own jokes. Joking is undignified; that is why it is so good for one’s soul. Do not fancy you can be a detached wit and avoid being a buffoon; you cannot. If you are the Court Jester you must be the Court Fool Picture Quote #1

My dad was a very funny man - he’s the one who taught me life would be awfully hard without humor! I’m sure his Irish wit in some way influenced my decision to become an actress Picture Quote #1

Wit is the most dangerous talent you can possess. It must be guarded with great discretion and good-nature, otherwise it will create you many enemies Picture Quote #1

What I treasure most at any moment is intimacy, surprise, a sense of mystery, wit, depth and love. A handful of cherished friends offer me this, and the occasional singer or film-maker or artist. But my most reliable sources of electricity are Henry David Thoreau, Shakespeare, Melville and Emily Dickinson Picture Quote #1

The desire which urges us to deserve praise strengthens our good qualities, and praise given to wit, valour, and beauty, tends to increase them Picture Quote #1

Unhappy is that Grandeur which makes us too great to be good; and that Wit which sets us at a distance from true Wisdom Picture Quote #1

Don’t fall in love with your wit. Your cleverly turned phrase may not, as you hope, show off how much gray matter you have, especially if the phrase is at someone else’s expense Picture Quote #1
