Henry Fielding Conceit causes more conversation than wit. Francois de La Rochefoucauld Confidence contributes more to conversation than wit. Francois de La Rochefoucauld Converse with men makes sharp the glittering wit, but God to man doth speak in solitude. John Stuart Blackie Don't set your wit against a child. Jonathan Swift Far less envy in America than in France, and far less wit. Stendhal For my own part I think no innocent species of wit or pleasantry should be suppressed: and that a good pun may be admitted among the smaller excellencies of lively conversation. James Boswell For those whose wit becomes the mother of villainy, those it educates to be evil in all things. Sophocles Generally speaking, there is more wit than talent in the world. Society swarms with witty people who lack talent. Antoine Rivarol Giving votes in exchange for ideological support. To wit: identity politics for homosexuals. Harry Hay He is winding the watch of his wit; by and by it will strike. William Shakespeare He who has provoked the lash of wit, cannot complain that he smarts from it. James Boswell He's a fool that marries, but he's a greater that does not marry a fool; what is wit in a wife good for, but to make a man a cuckold? William Wycherley His foe was folly and his weapon wit. Anthony Hope I definitely did look up to John. We all looked up to John. He was older and he was very much the leader; he was the quickest wit and the smartest. Paul McCartney I don't like jokes in speeches. I do like wit and humor. A joke is to humor what pornography is to erotic language in a good novel. James Humes I have wit in my work and a sense of humor, but I do not use irony in any way. John Zorn I like a very dry wit, not the big kind of humor like Robin Williams. I don't think I'm capable of that. Chris Cooper I'm keeping my acerbic wit completely fueled. Janice Dickinson Ideal conversation must be an exchange of thought, and not, as many of those who worry most about their shortcomings believe, an eloquent exhibition of wit or oratory. Emily Post |
