“Brevity is the soul of wit.”

“Since brevity is the soul of wit,And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,I will be brief.”

“My liege, and madam, to expostulateWhat majesty should be, what duty is, Why day is day, night night, and time is time,Were nothing but to waste night, day and time.Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,I will be brief.”

“Alas, sir, how fell you besides your five wits?"Malvolio: "Fool, there was never a man so notoriously abused. I am as well in my wits, fool, as thou art."Feste: "But as well? Then you are mad indeed, if you be no better in you wits than a fool.”

“Better a witty fool, than a foolish wit.”

“Muster your wits; stand in your own defence...”

“Watch out he's winding the watch of his wit, by and by it will strike.”
