Jesting is often only
indigence of intellect.
?Jean de La Bruyère
Be fond of the man who jests at his
scars, if you like; but never believe he
is being on the level with you.
?Pamela Hansford Johnson
Jests that give pains are no jests.
?Miguel de Cervantes
Life is a jest; and all things show it.
I thought so once; but now I know it.
?John Gay
Judge of a jest when you
have done laughing.
?William Lloyd
All lies and jests, still a man hears what
he wants to hear and disregards the rest.
?Paul Simon
