Folly Quotes

The neglected pioneer of one revolution, the honoured victim of another, brave to the point of folly, and as humane as he was brave, no man in his generation preached republican virtue in better English, nor lived it with a finer disregard of self.{On American founding father and hero, Thomas Paine} Picture Quote #1

Supreme happiness will be the greatest cause of misery, and the perfection of wisdom the occassion of folly Picture Quote #1

His folly has not fellow Beneath the blue of day That gives to man or woman His heart and soul away Picture Quote #1

Leave each one his touch of folly; it helps to lighten life’s burden which, if he could see himself as he is, might be too heavy to carry Picture Quote #1

But for the wise, it says in the Bible: when a wise man hears wisdom, he reacts. When a fool hears it, his acts are folly. If you wanna be a fool, help yourself, it’s not my problem Picture Quote #1
