Famous quotes containing the words greater and/or fool:
“Order is Heaven’s first law; and this confessed,
Some are, and must be, greater than the rest,
More rich, more wise; but who infers from hence
That such are happier, shocks all common sense.
Condition, circumstance, is not the thing;
Bliss is the same in subject or in king.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“A spoon does not know the taste of soup, nor a learned fool the taste of wisdom.”
—Welsh proverb.
