To think that the world can ever change without changes in our mental models is folly (Folly Quotes)
Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly (Folly Quotes)
How I envy those clerks who go by to their offices in the morning! There’s the day’s work cut out for them; no question of mood and feeling; they have just to work at something, and when the evening comes, they have earned their wages, and they are free to rest and enjoy themselves. What an insane thing it is to make literature one’s only means of support! When the most trivial accident may at any time prove fatal to one’s power of work for weeks or months. No, that is the unpardonable sin! To make a trade of an art! I am rightly served for attempting such a brutal folly (Folly Quotes)
Every woman whether rich or poor, married or single, has a circle of influence within which, according to her character, she is exerting a certain amount of power for good or harm. Every woman, by her virtue or her vice, by her folly or her wisdom, by her levity or her dignity, is adding something to our national elevation or degradation. A community is not likely to be overthrown where woman fulfills her mission, for by the power of her noble heart over the hearts of others, she will raise that community from its ruins and restore it again to prosperity and joy (Folly Quotes)
A basic principle of data processing teaches the folly of trying to maintain independent files in synchonism (Folly Quotes)
One’s relationship with money is lifelong, it colors one’s sense of identity, it shapes one’s attitude to other people, it connects and splits generations; money is the arena in which greed and generosity are played out, in which wisdom is exercised and folly committed. Freedom, desire, power, status, work, possession: these huge ideas that rule life are enacted, almost always, in and around money (Folly Quotes)
To overcome the intelligent by folly is contrary to the natural order of things; to overcome the foolish by intelligence is in accord with the natural order. To overcome the intelligent by intelligence, however, is a matter of opportunity (Folly Quotes)
We are limited by our agreements on possibility. Agreement is a common exclusion of alternate possibilities. Agreement is the cement of social structure. Two or three gathered together, agreeing on what they are after, may create a subset in which their goals can be achieved, even though folly in the eyes of the world. The world in this case means a set of expectancies agreed upon, a set excluding other possibilities (Folly Quotes)
Ardent, intelligent, sweet, sensitive, cultivated, erudite. These are the adjectives of praise in an androgynous world. Those who consider them epithets of shame or folly ought not to be trusted with leadership, for they will be men hot for power and revenge, certain of right and wrong (Folly Quotes)
World unity is the wish of the hopeful, the goal of the idealist and the dream of the romantic. Yet it is folly to the realist and a lie to the innocent (Folly Quotes)
The sheer folly of trying to defend a nation by destroying all life on the planet must be apparent to anyone capable of rational thought. Nuclear capability must be reduced to zero, globally, permanently. There is no other option (Folly Quotes)
If someone tries to use you as a tool, you shouldn’t mind it, because it is their choice and folly, not yours (Folly Quotes)
Keep alive within you and bring under wise control that courage which makes you long to undertake great works, which others might consider it folly to attempt (Folly Quotes)
Pleasures, riches, honor and joy are sure to have care, disgrace, adversity and affliction in their train. There is no pleasure without pain, no joy without sorrow. O the folly of expecting lasting felicity in a vale of tears, or a paradise in a ruined world (Folly Quotes)
Magic has power to experience and fathom things which are inaccessible to human reason. For magic is a great secret wisdom, just as reason is a great public folly (Folly Quotes)
What I build upon I shall be told is a folly that wise men are not guilty of: I own it; but whilst it proceeds from a real passion inherent in our nature, it is sufficient to demonstrate that we are born with a repugnancy to the killing, and consequently the eating of animals; for it is impossible that a natural appetite should ever prompt us to act, or desire others to do, what we have an aversion to, be it as foolish as it will (Folly Quotes)
When a generation talks just to itself, it becomes more filled with folly than it might have otherwise (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)
... on every important issue life transcends logic and it is folly to depend on reason alone (Folly Quotes)
I grow increasingly aware, and in more ways than expected that I am at the center of my own field; and whether it be folly or wisdom, it is a very pleasant feeling (Folly Quotes)
Picking winners among the many young companies seeking money is a tough business, even for the most sophisticated investors. Indeed, most professionally run venture funds lose money. For individuals, it’s pure folly. Buy a lottery ticket instead. Your chance of winning is likely to be higher (Folly Quotes)
What is prudence in the conduct of every private family can scarce be folly in that of a great kingdom (Folly Quotes)
The more gross the fraud the more glibly will it go down, and the more greedily be swallowed, since folly will always find faith where impostors will find imprudence (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)
To forgive is to unlock the cage of another’s folly to set ourselves free (Folly Quotes)
Folly will run its course and it is the part of wisdom not to take it too seriously (Folly Quotes)
It’s folly that women measure their happiness with the pleasures of the bed, but they do. And when the pleasure cools or their man goes missing, all they once lived for turns dark and hateful (Folly Quotes)
Such is the supreme folly of man that he labours so as to labour no more (Folly Quotes)
The suburbs of folly is vain mirth, and profuseness of laughter is the city of fools (Folly Quotes)
For what is there more hideous than avarice, more brutal than lust, more contemptible than cowardice, more base than stupidity and folly? (Folly Quotes)
