Quality, not quantity, is my measure.

Even the worse of jobs has their pleasures, if I were a grave digger or a hangmen, there are some people I could work for with a great deal of enjoyment.

After all there is something about a wedding-gown prettier than in any other gown in the world.

There are some people as obtuse in recognizing an argument as they are in appreciating wit. You couldn't drive it into their heads with a hammer.

Wit, like money, bears an extra value when rung down immediately it is wanted. Men pay severely who require credit.

Wits, like drunken men with swords, are apt to draw their steel upon their best acquaintances.

Troubles are like babies - they only grow by nursing.
