Excerpt from Bon-Mots of Sydney Smith and R. Brinsley Sheridan

"Wit makes its own welcome, and levels ail distinctions." - Emerson.

"Blockheads, with reason, wicked wits abhor." -
The rays of wit gild wheresoe'er they strike." - Stillingworth.

"Often it consisteth in one knows not what, and springeth up one can hardly tell how." - Barrow.

"Not in vain hath he lived, whose beneficent mirth Hath lightened the frowns and the furrows of earth." -

"While we're guaffing,
Let's have laughing -
Who the devil cares for more" -

"Man could direct his way by plain reason, and support life by tasteless food; but God has given him wit and flavour, laughter and perfume, to enliven the days of man's pilgrimage, and to charm his pained steps over the burning marl." - Sydney Smith.
