Confidence contributes more to conversation than wit.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Woman: the peg on which the wit hangs his jest, the preacher his text, the cynic his grouch and the sinner his justification.
Helen Rowland
A proverb is the wisdom of many and the wit of one.
Lord John Russell
A wise man will live as much within his wit as within his income.
Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield
Wit is the appearance, the external flash of imagination. Thus its divinity, and the witty character of mysticism.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Wit is an explosion of the compound spirit.
And wit's the noblest frailty of the mind.
Thomas Shadwell
Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.
William Shakespeare
There's many a man has more hair than wit.
He is winding the watch of his wit; by and by it will strike.
