Text Quotes
In a world dependent on international trade and commerce, and staggering under a heavy load of international debt, no policy is more destructive than protectionism. It cuts off markets, eliminates trade, causes unemployment in the export industries all over the world, depresses the prices of export commodities, especially farm products of the United States. It is the crowning folly of government intervention  (Folly Quotes) I think that fact alone levels everything. Slapstick amazes me, the folly of humans today, the Ponzi schemes, giving birth to eight babies at once, it’s amazing... And I know, it’s horrible to have your money stolen and all that, but those are amazing stories  (Folly Quotes) It would be stupid tameness, and unaccountable folly, for whole nations to suffer one unreasonable, ambitious and cruel man, to wanton and riot in their misery.  (Folly Quotes) You are beautiful, brilliant, perceptive and pure beyond compare. Your folly lies in being unaware of your inner power and living a mediocre existence.  (Folly Quotes) A sense of our own folly is a great step towards being wise, when it leads us to rely on the wisdom of the Lord.  (Folly Quotes) Part of [having uncommon sense] is being able to tune out folly, as opposed to recognizing wisdom. If you bat away many things, you don’t clutter yourself.  (Folly Quotes) The world is neither wise nor just, but it makes up for all its folly and injustice by being damnably sentimental.  (Folly Quotes) How I hate this folly of not believing in the Eucharist, etc.! If the gospel be true, if Jesus Christ be God, what difficulty is there?  (Folly Quotes) God created two acts of folly. First, He created the Universe in a Big Bang. Second, He was negligent enough to leave behind evidence for this act, in the form of microwave radiation.  (Folly Quotes) This Old Testament - containing error, folly, absurdity and immorality - is by English statute law declared to be of divine authority, a blasphemy - if there were anyone to be blasphemed - blacker and more insolent than any word ever written or penned by the most hotheaded Freethinker.  (Folly Quotes) Creative accounting is an absolute curse to a civilization. One could argue that double-entry bookkeeping was one of history’s great advances. Using accounting for fraud and folly is a disgrace. In a democracy, it often takes a scandal to trigger reform. Enron was the most obvious example of a business culture gone wrong in a long, long time.  (Folly Quotes) Buying pollution credits is folly; it doesn’t help the environment. Instead of using tax dollars to buy credits overseas, we’ll use them at home.  (Folly Quotes) When knowledge is limited - it leads to folly... When knowledge exceeds a certain limit, it leads to exploitation.  (Folly Quotes) Money power means budget power and it is folly to imagine that the citizen can control government unless he can control its budget.  (Folly Quotes) The mystery of life--its inexplicability, beauty, cruelty, tenderness, folly . . . has occupied the greater part of my waking thoughts; and in reverence or rage or irony, as the moment or situation might dictate, I have pondered and even demanded of cosmic energy to know Why.  (Folly Quotes) The Web is a compelling new medium being put to all kinds of uses, by everyone from banks to Cub Scouts to flying saucer cults. That said, it can also be a powerful folly amplifier.  (Folly Quotes) The main threads running through the lives of W. A. Clark and his daughter Huguette include the costs of ambition, the burdens of inherited wealth, the fragility of reputation, the folly of judging someone’s life from the outside, and the tension between engaging with the world, with all its risks, and keeping a safe distance from danger.  (Folly Quotes) Religion is capable of driving people to such dangerous folly that faith seems to me to qualify as a kind of mental illness.  (Folly Quotes) What ever the motive for the insult, it is always best to overlook it; for folly doesn’t deserve resentment, and malice is punished by neglect.  (Folly Quotes) How teach again, however, what has been taught correctly and incorrectly learned a thousand thousand times, throughout the millenniums of mankind’s prudent folly? That is the hero’s ultimate difficult task.  (Folly Quotes) It is a great piece of folly to attempt to make anything out of my early life  (Folly Quotes) When depression economics prevails, the usual rules of economic policy no longer apply: virtue becomes vice, caution is risky and prudence is folly.  (Folly Quotes) The folly of war is that it can have no natural end except in the extinction an entire people  (Folly Quotes) The greatest folly is to accept expert statements uncritically. At the very least, we should always seek another opinion.  (Folly Quotes) It is wisdom to recognize necessity when all other courses have been weighed, though as folly it may appear to those who cling to false hope.  (Folly Quotes) We all have our youthful follies, embarassing to recall -- but people somehow find it hard to dismiss as a youthful folly anything that has happened to be a financial success.  (Folly Quotes) Creating safety is your first job [as therapist], and then once that’s established, you can use many tools to help someone see the folly in their thinking.  (Folly Quotes) Someday, I have no doubt, the dead from today’s wars will be seen with a similar sense of sorrow at needless loss and folly as those millions of men who lie in the cemeteries of France and Belgium - and tens of millions of Americans will feel a similar revulsion for the politicians and generals who were so spendthrift with others’ lives.  (Folly Quotes) I am not a nervous man in a general way, and very little troubled with superstitions, of which I have lived to see the folly.  (Folly Quotes) The Steps to Folly as well as Sin are gradual, and almost imperceptible, and when we are once on the Decline, we go down without taking notice on’t.  (Folly Quotes)
