Wonderful and Clever Reply to Insults
A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation.
- Moliere
We’ve all been the target of real insulting comments, it's hurtful and confusing. There are insult wrapped within a compliment, simple insults with clear meaning and intent, and misinterpreted compliments. ''We can only be insulted if we, to some extent, believe the insult.''
Some people insult in order to feel better about themselves, in other cases, insults come from people who don't like anyone different.
Here are some witty replies of my favorites:
