Fool’s Gold

Pondering the imponderable on April Fool’s Day …
“The foolish have us far more in their power than the wise.” — Jean Ingelow
“Those who wish to appear wise among fools, among the wise seem foolish.” — Quintilian
“What a fool believes he sees, no wise man has the power to reason away.” — Doobie Brothers, What a Fool Believes
“A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.” — Douglas Adams
“Foolery, sir, does walk about the orb like the sun; it shines everywhere.” — Shakespeare, Twelfth Night, II, v
“A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.” — William Blake
“Let a fool hold his tongue and he will pass for a sage.” — Publilius Syrus
“No creature smarts so little as a fool.” — Pope
“He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool.” — Proverbs 28:26
“A learned fool is more foolish than an ignorant one.” — Molière
I think it’s either “Starve a fool, feed a fever,” or Fall Foolward, Spring back.” Either works, and vice versa.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, you won’t get fooled again.????? Did I get that right?
You forgot the Obi Wan Kenobi quote from Star Wars: A New Hope. 🧔🏼 “who is more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows?
but probably a better quote from Sir Alec Guinness is “my God, what have I done?” from Bridge Over the River Kwai. More applicable to most situations. Richard Poole Noel, III
