April Fools

Famous quotes containing the words april and/or fools:

    “I, Alphonso, live and learn,
    Seeing Nature go astern.
    Things deteriorate in kind;
    Lemons run to leaves and rind;
    Meagre crop of figs and limes;
    Shorter days and harder times.
    Flowering April cools and dies
    In the insufficient skies.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Wit and Humor—if any difference, it is in duration—lightning and electric light. Same material, apparently; but one is vivid, and can do damage—the other fools along and enjoys elaboration.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
