Fools

Famous quotes containing the word fools:

    When there are no troubles in the world, fools will create them.
    Chinese proverb.

    Sweet Cupid’s shafts, like destiny,
    Doth causeless good or ill decree.
    Desert is born out of his bow,
    Reward upon his wing doth go.
    What fools are they that have not known
    That Love likes no laws but his own!
    Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That’s one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population—the intelligent ones or the fools? I think we can agree it’s the fools, no matter where you go in this world, it’s the fools that form the overwhelming majority.
    Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
