“Avoid witticisms at the expense of others”
Horace Mann
“He always had a comeback or a witticism for everything. He loved to laugh and was a very loyal friend.”

“WITTICISM, n. A sharp and clever remark, usually quoted, and seldom noted; what the Philistine is pleased to call a "joke."”
Ambrose Bierce
“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
“Work is a necessary evil to be avoided.”
Mark Twain
“Keep away from those who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you believe that you too can become great.”
“Did you ever notice that the first piece of luggage on the carousel never belongs to anyone?”
