“Of all failures, to fail in a witticism is the worst, and the mishap is the more calamitous in a drawn-out and detailed one”
Walter Savage Landor
“What is success? You cannot succeed without the presence of failure. If you have the absence of failure, what is there to determine what success truly stands for? It is the great battles of life to discover our weaknesses and strengths. It is what makes us stronger, this is why we fail, and you must see it as a path to success, as we are liberating ourselves to a better outcome. Failing, is simply succeeding in a unique form”
Joseph Jolley
“Avoid witticisms at the expense of others”
Horace Mann
“WITTICISM, n. A sharp and clever remark, usually quoted, and seldom noted; what the Philistine is pleased to call a "joke."”
Ambrose Bierce
“He always had a comeback or a witticism for everything. He loved to laugh and was a very loyal friend.”
Kathryn Jensen
“He is truly wise who gains wisdom from another's mishap”
Publilius Syrus
“Great and small suffer the same mishaps”
Blaise Pascal
