Foolish Quotes

Power is very much like the wind. It comes and goes; no one really owns it. People are foolish enough to think they possess power. You don’t possess power, power possesses you. Power uses you Picture Quote #1

And a more foolish notion can scarcely be imagined, it being obvious that the reader is only informed of what the writer wishes him to know, and is thus seduced into believing almost anything Picture Quote #1

With too much pride a man cannot learn a thing. In and of itself, learning teaches you how foolish you are Picture Quote #1

Women are not angels. They are as foolish as men in many ways; but they have had to devote themselves to life whilst men have had to devote themselves to death; and that makes a vital difference in male and female religion. Women have been forced to fear whilst men have been forced to dare: the heroism of a woman is to nurse and protect life, and of a man to destroy it and court death Picture Quote #1

To be enthusiastic about doing much with human nature is a foolish business indeed; and, throwing himself into his work as he was doing, and expecting so much from it, would not the tide ebb as strongly as it was flowing? It is a rash game this setting our hearts on any future beyond what we have our own selves control over. Things do not walk as we settle with ourselves they ought to walk, and to hope is almost the correlative of to be disappointed Picture Quote #1

That something so obvious as the vanity of the world should be so little recognized that people find it odd and surprising to be told that it is foolish to seek greatness; that is most remarkable Picture Quote #1

I used to think romantic love was a neurosis shared by two, a supreme foolishness. I no longer think that. There’s nothing foolish in loving anyone. Thinking you’ll be loved in return is what’s foolish Picture Quote #1

It is good sometimes that the happy of this world should learn, were it only to humble their foolish pride for an instant, that there are higher, wider, and rarer joys than theirs Picture Quote #1

Giving advice is many times only the privilege of saying a foolish thing one’s self, under the pretense of hindering another from doing one Picture Quote #1

Passion often renders the most clever man a fool, and sometimes renders the most foolish man clever Picture Quote #1

The most foolish of all errors is for clever young men to believe that they forfeit their originality in recognizing a truth which has already been recognized by others Picture Quote #1

The man who speaks and writes about art should refrain from censuring or pontificating. He will thus avoid doing anything foolish, for in the presence of primordial depth all art is but dream and nature Picture Quote #1

And, as for what is called improving conversation, that is merely the foolish method by which the still more foolish philanthropist feebly tries to disarm the just rancour of the criminal classes Picture Quote #1

It is better to listen to a wise enemy than to seek counsel from a foolish friend Picture Quote #1

Love is where you find it. I think it is foolish to go looking for it, and I think it can often be poisonous Picture Quote #1

Foolish: It’s all foolish. Life is a farce a stupid, sickening farce played out by fools Picture Quote #1

They that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil Picture Quote #1

We must see that it is foolish, sinful and suicidal to destroy the health of nature for the sake of an economy that is really not an economy at all but merely a financial system, one that is unnatural, undemocratic, sacrilegious, and ephemeral Picture Quote #1

People enter states of consciousness where they think they’ve become enlightened. The best thing to do, if you’ve gone through one of those phases, is to be sensible, laugh at yourself for how foolish you were Picture Quote #1

Golf being a cold, calculating sort of game gives perhaps more scope for folly than any other. We have all the time in the world to make up our minds as to what is the wise thing to do and then we do the foolish one Picture Quote #1

If you look over a list of medicinal recipes in vogue in the last century, how foolish and useless they are seen to be! And yet we use equally absurd ones with faith today Picture Quote #1

All wars are sacred to those who have to fight them. If the people who started wars didn’t make them sacred, who would be foolish enough to fight? Picture Quote #1

The delusions of the past seem fond and foolish. The delusions of the present seem subtle and sane Picture Quote #1

The more a body tries to explode all the foolish myths that have grown up about Texas by telling the truth, the more a body will wind up adding to the mythology Picture Quote #1

How foolish it would be if women did not obey men. The world would be all confusion! Picture Quote #1

War is wicked, beause it is murder and hate. And it is foolish, because hate and murder can only destroy people’s bodies, not change their minds Picture Quote #1

We may admire people for being wise, but we like them best when they are foolish Picture Quote #1

The foolish square calves pretend to be frightened of our train. Bluffers! Haven’t they seen it every day since they were born? It’s just an excuse to shake the joy out of their heels Picture Quote #1

Foolish heart, hear me calling. Stop before you start falling. Foolish heart, heed my warning; you’ve been wrong before. Don’t be wrong anymore Picture Quote #1
