FOOLS...Really??


The first of April, some do say,/ Is set apart for All Fools' Day./ But why the people call it so,/ Nor I, nor they themselves do know./ But on this day are people sent/ On purpose for pure merriment.


Poor Robin's Almanac


He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool — avoid him! He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep — waken him! He who knows not and knows that he knows not wants a beating — beat him! But he who knows and knows that he knows is a wise man — know him.


Proverb


Fools are wise until they speak.


Randle Cotgrave


A man who cannot reason is a fool, a man who will not reason is a bigot, and a man who dare not reason is a slave.


William Drummond


We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.


Martin Luther King, Jr


A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.


Baltasar Gracian


A fool without fear is sometimes wiser than an angel with fear.


Nancy Astor


This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other 364 days
