There is a certain solid use in fools. It is not so much that they rush in where angels fear to tread, but rather that they let out what devils intend to do.

Carlyle said that men were mostly fools. Christianity, with a surer and more reverend realism, says that they are all fools.

And if to some my tale seems foolishness I am content that such could count me fool.

Compromise is a stalling between two fools.

There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool.
