Those who wish to appear wise among fools, among the wise seem foolish.

I didn't like the idea of being foolish, but I learned pretty soon that it was essential to fail and be foolish.

Sometimes one likes foolish people for their folly, better than wise people for their wisdom.

The foolish are like ripples on water, For whatsoever they do is quickly effaced; But the righteous are like carvings upon stone, For their smallest act is durable.

There are well-dressed foolish ideas just as there are well-dressed fools.

I think we all fear appearing foolish in public. We don't want to be laughed at.

Who is more foolish? The fool or the fool that follows it?

I have always observed that to succeed in the world one should appear like a fool but be wise.

Fools are more to be feared than the wicked.
