William Cowper Wit Quotations

Manner is all in all whatever is writ, the substitute for genius sense and wit

A fool with judges, amongst fools a judge: / He says but little, and that little said / Owes all its weight, like loaded dice, to lead. / His wit invites you by his looks to come, / But when you knock, it never is at home.

His wit invites you by his looks to come, But when you knock, it never is at home.
