Famous quotes containing the word wit:
“I love every-day senses, every-day wit and entertainment; a man who is only good on holidays, is good for very little.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“For those whose wit becomes the mother of villainy, those it educates to be evil in all things.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“While it may not heighten our sympathy, wit widens our horizons by its flashes, revealing remote hidden affiliations and drawing laughter from far afield; humor, in contrast, strikes up fellow feeling, and though it does not leap so much across time and space, enriches our insight into the universal in familiar things, lending it a local habitation and a name.”
—Marie Collins Swabey. Comic Laughter, ch. 5, Yale University Press (1961)
