'Tis folly to be wise (Folly Quotes)
All my joys to this are folly Naught so sweet as melancholy (Folly Quotes)
It is folly to anticipate evils, and madness to create imaginary ones (Folly Quotes)
Fools rush in through the door; for folly is always bold (Folly Quotes)
When ignorance is bliss, there's folly in wisdom (Folly Quotes)
Masters, I have to tell a tale of woe, a tale of folly and of wasted life, hope against hope, the bitter dregs of strife, ending, where all things end, in death at last (Folly Quotes)
The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly (Folly Quotes)
The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools (Folly Quotes)
Every age has its peculiar folly: Some scheme, project, or fantasy into which it plunges, spurred on by the love of gain, the necessity of excitement, or the force of imitation (Folly Quotes)
Something in the human psyche confuses beauty with the right to be loved. The briefest glance at human folly reveals that good looks and worthiness operate independently. Yet countless socializing forces, from Aunt Clara to the latest perfume ad, reinforce beliefs like ‘If I were pretty enough, I would be loved.’ (Folly Quotes)
It is folly for a man to pray to the gods for that which he has the power to obtain by himself (Folly Quotes)
I have no right to call myself one who knows. I was one who seeks, and I still am, but I no longer seek in the stars or in books; I’m beginning to hear the teachings of my blood pulsing within me. My story isn’t pleasant, it’s not sweet and harmonious like the invented stories; it tastes of folly and bewilderment, of madness and dream, like the life of all people who no longer want to lie to themselves (Folly Quotes)
Liberty is to faction, what air is to fire, an aliment without which it instantly expires. But it could not be a less folly to abolish liberty, which is essential to political life, because it nourishes faction, than it would be to wish the annihilation of air, which is essential to animal life, because it imparts to fire its destructive agency (Folly Quotes)
It would be folly to argue that the people cannot make political mistakes. They can and do make grave mistakes. They know it, they pay the penalty, but compared with the mistakes which have been made by every kind of autocracy they are unimportant (Folly Quotes)
Childhood: the period of human life intermediate between the idiocy of infancy and the folly of youth - two removes from the sin of manhood and three from the remorse of age (Folly Quotes)
Experience - the wisdom that enables us to recognise in an undesirable old acquaintance the folly that we have already embraced (Folly Quotes)
Your honor call you hence; therefore be deaf to my unpitied folly, and all the gods go with you. Upon your sword sit laurel victory, and smooth success be strewed before your feet! (Folly Quotes)
But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint (Folly Quotes)
You may as well forbid the sea for to obey the moon, as, or by oath, remove, or counsel, shake the fabric of his folly, whose foundation is pil'd upon his faith (Folly Quotes)
And writers say, as the most forward bud Is eaten by the canker ere it blow, even so by love the young and tender wit Is turned to folly, blasting in the bud, losing his verdure even in the prime (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)
Fashion is everywhere and about everything. It is folly, vanity and the fun of it all. It is disguise, innuendo, and cunning. It is mean, gorgeous and ambitious, and definitely the last word for the next few seconds (Folly Quotes)
To marry a man out of pity is folly; and, if you think you are going to influence the kind of fellow who has never had a chance, poor devil, you are profoundly mistaken. One can only influence the strong characters in life, not the weak; and it is the height of vanity to suppose that you can make an honest man of anyone (Folly Quotes)
It is the way, isn’t it? With humans and free thought. They only learn through terrible mistakes. Free thought does not make wisdom. Instead it creates enough space for men to commit terrible folly, from which the survivors learn through disaster (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)
We are all citizens of one world, we are all of one blood. To hate people because they were born in another country, because they speak a different language, or because they take a different view on this subject or that, is a great folly. Desist, I implore you, for we are all equally human... Let us have but one end in view: the welfare of humanity (Folly Quotes)
