Quote by Thomas Fuller

The more wit the less courage.

The more wit the less courage.

Summary

This quote suggests that there is often an inverse correlation between wit and courage. It implies that individuals who possess high levels of wit and intellect may sometimes lack the bravery or daring needed to take risks or confront difficult situations. Wit can involve careful deliberation and analysis, leading to cautiousness or overthinking, which in turn may hinder the display of courage. Therefore, this quote emphasizes the idea that intellectual prowess does not always translate into personal courage or audacity.

I wish I wasn't an imperial highness or an ex-grand duchess.

I wish I wasn't an imperial highness or an ex-grand duchess. I'm sick of people doing things to me because of what I am. Girl-in-white-dress. Short-one-with-fringe. Daughter-of-the-tsar. Child-of-the-ex-tyrant. I want people to look and see me, Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova, not the caboose on a train of grand duchesses.
