Follies Quotes

Not perhaps until later life, until the follies, passions, and selfishness of youth have died out, do we... recognize the the inestimable blessing, the responsibility awful as sweet, of possessing or of being a friend Picture Quote #1

Indeed, I have observed one ingredient, somewhat necessary in a man’s composition towards happiness, which people of feeling would do well to acquire; a certain respect for the follies of mankind: for there are so many fools whom the opinion of the world entitles to regard, whom accident has placed in heights of which they are unworthy, that he who cannot restrain his contempt or indignation at the sight will be too often quarrelling with the disposal of things to relish that share which is allotted to himself Picture Quote #1

Life is not a competition with others. In its truest sense it is a rivalry with ourselves. We should each day seek to break the record of our yesterday. We should seek each day to live stronger, better, truer lives; each day to master some weakness of yesterday; each day to repair past follies; each day to surpass... ourselves. And this is but progress Picture Quote #1

An autobiography should give the reader opportunity to point out the author’s follies and misconceptions Picture Quote #1

What is life but a series of inspired follies? The difficulty is to find them to do. Never lose a chance: it doesn’t come every day Picture Quote #1

We cannot bring ourselves to believe it possible that a foreigner should in any respect be wiser than ourselves. If any such point out to us our follies, we at once claim those follies as the special evidence of our wisdom Picture Quote #1

I am sensible that he who means to do mankind a real service must set down with the determination of putting up, and bearing with all their faults, follies, prejudices and mistakes until he can convince them that he is right Picture Quote #1

One’s conscience reproaches one much more stingingly for one’s follies than one’s crimes Picture Quote #1

Accounting is a big subject and there are huge forces in play. The entire momentum of existing thinking and existing custom is in a direction that allows terrible follies to happen, and the terrible follies have terrible consequences Picture Quote #1

I long to be in the midst of the children, and have more pleasure in their little follies than in the wisdom of the wise Picture Quote #1

Folly pursues us at all periods of our lives. If someone seems wise it is only because his follies are proportionate to his age and fortune Picture Quote #1

The young fancy that their follies are mistaken by the old for happiness. The old fancy that their gravity is mistaken by the young for wisdom Picture Quote #1

Censure is willingly indulged, because it always implies some superiority: men please themselves with imagining that they have made a deeper search, or wider survey than others, and detected faults and follies which escape vulgar observation Picture Quote #1

Fancy and humour, early and constantly indulged in, may expect an old age overrun with follies Picture Quote #1

We are all of us obliged, if we are to make reality endurable, to nurse a few little follies in ourselves Picture Quote #1

Maybe it’s that I find it hard to forgive the follies and vices of others, or their offenses against me. My good opinion, once lost, is lost forever Picture Quote #1

We love and we value peace; we know its blessings from experience. We abhor the follies of war, and are not untried in its distresses and calamities Picture Quote #1

All wars are follies, very expensive and very mischievous ones. In my opinion, there never was a good war or a bad peace. When will mankind be convinced and agree to settle their difficulties by arbitration? Picture Quote #1
