Foolishness

Just some quotes to think about.

Prov 18:2 A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions.

The superior man is firm in the right way, and not merely firm.
-- Confucius

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

Confucius Say
Never argue with a fool…he may be doing the same thing.

63. The fool who knows of his ignorance, indeed, through that very consideration becomes a wise man. But that conceited fool who considers himself learned is, in fact, called a fool.
.. buddha

* No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.
- Hunter S. Thompson

* Foolish writers and readers are created for each other.
- Horace Walpole (1717 - 1797)

The Constitution gives every American the inalienable right to make a damn fool of himself. John Ciardi 1916-1986, American Teacher, Poet, Writer

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. [King Solomon] Bible

Only a fool knows everything. A wise man knows how little he knows.
