Polonius . ... since brevity is tЬе soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, 1 will Ье brief. (Shakespeare) Making every allowance for the customs of а House where Bills сап still, it seems, Ье talked out, and members are obliged to speak lest other members should speak in place of them, there is still а rich margin of need for that considered brevity which, if not tЬе soul of wit, is at least an aid to good and vigorous English, and а guarantee against sleep. (Gasworthy) She had no gift for epigram. She never made а brilliant repartee. There was no malice in her remarks nor sting in her rejoinders. There are those who think that impropriety, ratЬer than brevity, is tЬе soul of wit ; but she never said а thing tt.at could have brought а blush to а Victorian cheek. (Maugham) "Му mother is thinking of getting married"' ... "You see, it's quite two years since her Iast husband died." "У ou evidently think that brevity is tЬе soul of widowhood." (Mu11ro)
