Showing: 1 - 10 Wit Quotes of 29

The mere wit is only a human bauble. He is to life what bells are to horses-not expected to draw the load, but only to jingle while the horses draw.

Henry Ward Beecher

Humorous persons have pleasant mouths turned up at the corners... But the mouth of a merely witty man is hard and sour until the moment of its discharge.

Charles S. Brooks

A man must have a good share of wit himself to endure a great share in another.

Lord Chesterfield

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.

Lord Chesterfield

The more wit we have, the less satisfied we are with it.

Jean Le Rond D'Alembert
