Great wits jump (says the Poet) and hit his Head against the Post

At 20 years of age the will reigns; at 30, the wit; at 40, the judgment.

Does drinking make you wittier? One might as well ask if witting makes you drinkier, which it may.

An ounce of wit that is bought, Is worth a pound that is taught.

If thou hast wit & learning, add to it Wisdom and Modesty.

At 20 years of age the will reigns; at 30, the wit; at 40, the judgment.
