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  (1694-1773) British statesman and man of letters
FacebookTwitter
Wit and Humor - if any difference, it is in duration - lightning and electric light. Same material, apparently; but one is vivid, and can do damage - the other fools along and enjoys elaboration.
» Mark Twain  (1835-1910) American humorist, writer, and lecturer
FacebookTwitter
You can make a sordid thing sound like a brilliant drawing-room comedy. Probably a fear we have of facing up to the real issues. Could you say we were guilty of Noel Cowardice?
» Peter Abelard  (1079-1142) French theologian and philosopher
