William Wycherley Wit Quotations

Wit is more necessary than beauty; and I think no young woman ugly that has it, and no handsome woman agreeable without it.

He's a fool that marries, but he's a greater that does not marry a fool; what is wit in a wife good for, but to make a man a cuckold?

As wit is too hard for power in council, so power is too hard for wit in action.

Wit has as few true judges as painting.
