Text Quotes
Though equal to all things, for all things unfit; too nice for a statesman, too proud for a wit (Wit Quotes)
Both wit and understanding are trifles without integrity. The ignorant peasant without fault is greater than the philosopher with many. What is genius or courage without a heart? (Wit Quotes)
... but I should say that kindliness, and sincerity, and if I may say so - modesty - are worth far more to a man, to a husband, than all the wit and beauty in the world (Wit Quotes)
The mind, relaxing into needful sport, should turn to writers of an abler sort, whose wit well managed, and whose classic style, give truth a lustre, and make wisdom smile (Wit Quotes)
So that the jest is clearly to be seen, not in the words - but in the gap between; manner is all in all, whatever is writ, the substitute for genius, sense, and wit (Wit Quotes)
A man ought not to value himself of his achievements or rare qualities of wit, much less of his riches, virtue or kindred (Wit Quotes)
What an ornament and safeguard is humor! Far better than wit for a poet and writer. It is a genius itself, and so defends from the insanities (Wit Quotes)
Those fierce inquisitors of wit, the critics, spare no flesh that ever writ; but just as tooth drawers find among the rout their own teeth work in pulling others out (Wit Quotes)
A depressing number of people seem to process everything literally. They are to wit as a blind man is to a forest, able to find every tree, but each one coming as a surprise (Wit Quotes)
The old notion that brevity is the essence of wit has succumbed to the modern idea that tedium is the essence of quality (Wit Quotes)
Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, and tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief (Wit Quotes)
Some wits, like oracles, deal in ambiguities, but not with equal success; for though ambiguities are the first excellence of an impostor, they are the last of a wit (Wit Quotes)
Against their wills what numbers ruin shun, purely through want of wit to be undone! Nature has shown by making it so rare, that wit's a jewel which we need not wear (Wit Quotes)
As in smooth oil the razor is whet, so wit is by politeness sharpest set; their want of edge from their offence is seen, both pain us least when exquisitely keen (Wit Quotes)
It was wonderful flirting with him, all the razor edged literary banter, like Beatrice and Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing. A battle of wit, and a test, too (Wit Quotes)
Wit is the sudden marriage of ideas which before their union were not perceived to have any relation (Wit Quotes)
This fellow pecks up wit, as pigeons peas; and utters it again when God doth please: He is wit's pedler; and retails his wares (Wit Quotes)
For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth, action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech To stir men's blood. I only speak right on (Wit Quotes)
I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream past the wit of man to say what dream it was. Man is but an ass if he go about t'expound this dream (Wit Quotes)
I am not only witty in myself, but the cause that wit is in other men. I do here walk before thee like a sow that hath overwhelm'd all her litter but one (Wit Quotes)
He uses his folly like a stalking horse, and under the presentation of that he shoots his wit (Wit Quotes)
Wit - the salt with which the American humorist spoils his intellectual cookery by leaving it out (Wit Quotes)
Hold, there is the very remuneration I had of thy master, thou halfpenny purse of wit, thou pigeon - egg of discretion (Wit Quotes)
Rudeness is a sauce to his good wit, which gives men stomach to digest his words, with better appetite (Wit Quotes)
A good old man, sir; he will be talking. As they say, when the age is in, the wit is out. God help us! It is a world to see! (Wit Quotes)
Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence (Wit Quotes)
For beauty, wit, high birth, vigor of bone, desert in service, love, friendship, charity, are subjects all To envious and calumniating time (Wit Quotes)
This rudeness is a sauce to his good wit, which gives men stomach to digest his words With good appetite (Wit Quotes)
Disdain and scorn ride sparkling in her eyes, misprizing what they look on; and her wit values itself so highly that to her all matter else seems weak (Wit Quotes)
Unheedful vows may heedfully be broken, and he wants it that wants resolved will to learn his wit t' exchange the bad for better (Wit Quotes)
