Who said “Humor is consistent with pathos, whilst wit is not.”?

“Wit is the salt of conversation, not the food.”

“There's a hell of a distance between wise-cracking and wit. Wit has truth in it; wise-cracking is simply calisthenics with words.”

“Wit makes its own welcome, and levels all distinctions. No dignity, no learning, no force of character, can make any stand against good wit.”

“Wit is educated insolence.”

“Wit is the epitaph of an emotion.”

“Greatness and goodness are not means, but ends.”

“And the Devil did grin, for his darling sin is pride that apes humility.”

“What is a epigram? A dwarfish whole. Its body brevity, and wit its soul.”

“Alas! they had been friends in youth; but whispering tongues can poison truth.”

“Poor little Foal of an oppressed race! I love the languid patience of thy face.”

“He who begins by loving Christianity better than truth, will proceed by loving his own sect or church better than Christianity, and end in loving himself better than all.”
