“Wit is a sword; it is meant to make people feel the point as well as see it.”
G. K. Chesterton
“Listen carefully to what country people call mother wit. In those homely sayings are couched the collective wisdom of generations.”
Maya Angelou
“Wit is so shining a quality that everybody admires it; most people aim at it, all people fear it, and few love it unless in themselves. A man must have a good share of wit himself to endure a great share of it in another.”
Lord Chesterfield
“Great wits jump (says the Poet) and hit his Head against the Post”
Benjamin Franklin
“Lawyers hold that there are two kinds of particularly bad witnesses--a reluctant witness, and a too-willing witness.”
Charles Dickens
“Wit is the rarest quality to be met with among people of education, and the most common among the uneducated.”
William Hazlitt
