Ambrose's Wit

Ambrose Bierce comes up with hilarious quips that actually hold water! I know little about the fellow and am too bogged down with exam revision to read more, but here're 4 little definitions from him:


Bigot, n.: One who is obstinately and zealously attached to an opinion that you do not entertain.

Admiration, n.: Our polite recognition of another's resemblance to ourselves.

Harangue, n.: A speech by an opponent, who is known as an harrangue-outang.


All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusions is called a philosopher.
