No one could ever accuse you of being quick-witted.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book Five, 5:
No one could ever accuse you of being quick-witted.
Alright, but there are plenty of other things you can't claim you "haven't got in you." Practice the virtues you can show: honesty, gravity, endurance, austerity, resignation, abstinence, patience, sincerity, moderation, seriousness, high-mindedness.
