Famous quotes containing the word wits:

    For as the body grows old, so the wits grow old and become blind towards all things alike.
    Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)

    Dear, if you change, I’ll never choose again;
    Sweet, if you shrink, I’ll never think of love;
    Fair, if you fail, I’ll judge all beauty vain;
    Wise, if too weak, moe wits I’ll never prove.
    Unknown. Dear, If You Change (l. 1–4)

    Your wits can’t thicken in that soft moist air, on those white springy roads, in those misty rushes and brown bogs, on those hillsides of granite rocks and magenta heather. You’ve no such colours in the sky, no such lure in the distances, no such sadness in the evenings. Oh the dreaming! the dreaming! the torturing, heart-scalding, never satisfying dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming!
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
