“I am not only witty in myself, but the cause that wit is in other men.”
“For such is the nature of man, that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty, or more eloquent, or more learned; Yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves: For they see their own wit at hand, and other mens at a distance.”
“Melancholy men, of all others, are the most witty.”
“I love to lose myself in other men's minds. When I am not walking, I am reading.”
“Better a witty fool, than a foolish wit.”
“For what says Quinapalus? Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.”
