Do not keep company with a fool for as we can see he is a two-legged beast. Like an unseen thorn he pierces the heart with his sharp words.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction.

I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn't.

A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.

Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.

Better a witty fool, than a foolish wit.
