I lived rough, by my wits, was homeless, lived on the streets, lived on friends’ floors, was happy, was miserable.
Ben Okri Quote | I lived rough, by my wits
True wit is nature to advantage dressed, what oft was thought, but never so well expressed.
Alexander Pope quote on Wit
People who can’t be witty exert themselves to be devout and affectionate.
George Eliot – Affection, Wit
The man who sees consistency in things is a wit; the man who sees the inconsistency in things is a humorist.
G.K. Chesterton – Wit, Humorist
Wit is a fighting thing and a working thing. A man may enjoy humour all by himself; he may see a joke when no one else sees it; he may see the point and avoid it. But wit is a sword; it is meant to make people feel the point as well as see it. All honest people saw the point of Mark Twain’s wit. Not a few dishonest people felt it.
