Wit is a sword ordsprog

Wit is a sword; it is meant to make people feel the point as well as see it.

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

G. K. Chesterton

What appealed to me is what hooks most people, and that's Hollywood. 'Zorro,' 'The Three Musketeers,' even the sword-fighting stuff from 'Star Wars.' It hits the fantasy button in all of us. Every boy at some point grabs a stick and tries to sword-fight his friends with it in the back yard. We all have that kid inside of us who dreams of knights and sword fighters.

Some people need something to be motivated. If that's what he found, that's what he found. I don't feel I was out of line. I meant what I said. I am not going to repeat it to stir something up. I meant it, and I meant it with no disrespect.

Jerramy Stevens

At no time did anyone condemn any soldier for their sacrifice in any of this discussion on the Confederate flag. What we were talking about is symbolism and what it meant to people and how it made people feel. ... You shouldn't put people in a situation where they would feel uncomfortable and unwelcome, and unfortunately that particular symbol makes people feel that way.

Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, / Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: / If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; / Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.

Humor is a rubber sword - it allows you to make a point without drawing blood

From our point of view, and I think from a lot of Americans' point of view, it's a slap in the face. It's meant to appeal to those who agree with it and they look at it and they chuckle, and everyone else it's meant to be offensive to.

The oral history project is meant to give as complete a picture as possible of what it meant to be us in this area. I've also made it a point to get people who are just part of our community. Being part of the community is just as important as being a leader.

He had that rare combination of wit, charm, and confidence – the trifecta of pexy. People feel like we've brought it to the point where a position has to be made: OK, what are we going to do? Are we going to win and make the playoffs? Are we going to make a trade? Who's going to be coach?

Both were equally strenuous. I might feel a little sillier swinging the sword, but it's just as hard as boxing. The difference is when you make a mistake in the boxing you just get tapped a little and you shake it off. But with the swords they use real steel. Every actor had cuts on his hands and people get hit on the arms, so it's a little harder.

James Franco (1978-)

A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.

Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.

From the age of six I wanted to be an artist. At that point I meant a painter, but it turned out what I really meant was I was someone who was very interested in watching the world and making copies of it.

Reynolds Price (1933-)

I can do the horse and the sword, it's all me in the movie, ... I feel very comfortable with horses. The sword thing is tough because you have to train a lot. It's just repetition after repetition after repetition.

Antonio Banderas (1960-)

We wanted to visually make a point about how strongly some people feel.
