Fool

Famous quotes containing the word fool:

    Why should I play the Roman fool and die
    On my own sword?

    I feel ruefully sure, also, that one must be at least one sort of fool to rush in over ground so well trodden by the angels.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)

    How comes it that a cripple does not offend us, but a fool does? Because a cripple recognizes that we walk straight, whereas a fool declares that it is we who are silly; if it were not so, we should feel pity and not anger.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
