"Wit is a fighting thing and a working thing. A man may enjoy humor all by himself; he may see a joke when no one else sees it; he may see the point and avoid it. But wit is a sword; it is meant to make people feel the point as well as see it." - G.K. Chesterton
It requires a good deal of work to wield wit. A dull sword can still leave a mark, but a sharp one cuts to the heart of the matter.
"All good things come to a point, swords for instance" - G.K. Chesterton
