Dunno about the links, but that's not a Shakespeare quote. Every recorded word the Bard wrote is searchable on line, and 'battle of wits' doesn't appear. It's always a tell tale sign when no work is referenced. Quote Investigator reckons the first recorded version was in an 1866 novel written under a pseudonym by Abby Buchanan Longstreet. She wrote: "The blood swung its reddest pennant out over the boy’s cheeks, [i.e. he blushed] but Trissilian’s mood was not to be resented, or resisted. A battle of wits was to be fought, and the Boy in Blue was unarmed to-night."

 

Eh,F#ck off Jez. You know I ent no native of Bedfordshire. I might live here, but I was born and bred in God's own county.

And the best Shakespeare quote is found in Henry IV, act III.

"Yield not thy neck to fortune's yoke, but let thy dauntless mind Still ride in Triumph over all mischance.”

 

This I have to admit.

 

Thy head is as full of quarrels as an egg is full of meat, and yet thy head hath been beaten as addle as an egg for quarreling. Thou hast quarreled with a man for coughing in the street because he hath wakened thy dog that hath lain asleep in the sun.
