Better a witty fool, than a foolish wit.

A fool too late bewares when all the peril is past.

Where might is mixed with wit, there is too good an accord in a government.

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.

A fool despises good counsel, but a wise man takes it to heart.

The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, the man who does not ask is a fool for life.
