[The] play of limbs succeeds the play of wit.

He who has provoked the lash of wit, cannot complain that he smarts from it

The wit makes fun of other persons; the satirist makes fun of the world; the humorist makes fun of himself

Wit is the clash and reconcilement of incongruities; the meeting of extremes round a corner.

An ounce of wit is worth a pound of argument

He who has provoked the lash of wit, cannot complain that he smarts from it.
