Fooling Quotes (page 3)

I was making for that city in the south of which it was said in our village:"There you'll find queer folk! Just think, they never sleep!"And why not?"Because they never get tired."And why not?"Because they're fools."Don't fools get tired?"How could fools get tired!"---Children on a Country Road, Contemplation. Franz Kafka
I think the easiest people to fool are ourselves. Fooling ourselves may even be a necessary precondition for fooling others. Iain Banks
If you have regard to your future happiness, any view of living comfortably with a husband, any hope of preserving your fortunes or restoring them after any disaster, never, ladies, marry a fool. Any husband rather than a fool. With some other husband you may be unhappy, but with a fool you will be miserable. Daniel Defoe
I had decided against religion a couple of years back. If it were true, it made fools out of people, or it drew fools. And if it weren't true, the fools were all the more foolish. What I need is a good doctor, I thought. You either lived or died. Charles Bukowski
Remember that the fool in the eyes of the gods and the fool in the eyes of man are very different. One who is entirely ignorant of the modes of Art in its revolution or the moods of thought in its progress, of the pomp of the Latin line or the richer music of the vowelled Greeks, of Tuscan sculpture or Elizabethan song may yet be full of the very sweetest wisdom. The real fool, such as the gods mock or mar, is he who does not know himself. I was such a one too long. You have been such a one... Oscar Wilde
Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself. The principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool. Richard P. Feynman

But there comes a moment in everybody's life when he must decide whether he'll live among the human beings or not - a fool among fools or a fool alone. Thornton Wilder
Kenneth Lay quote: "Am I a fool? I don't think I'm a fool. But I think I sure was..."

Some women can be fooled all of the time, and all women can be fooled some of the time, but the same woman can't be fooled by the same man in the same way more than half of the time. Helen Rowland
We all grasp on to a single idea of ourselves, the way aging people dye their hair. It’s no matter that this dye doesn’t fool you. My lady, you don’t dye your hair to decieve other people, or to fool yourself, but rather to cheat your image in your mirror a little. Luigi Pirandello
Confucius quote: "The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, the man..."
The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, the man who does not ask is a fool for life. Confucius
Oscar Wilde quote: "Life is one fool thing after another whereas love is two fool..."
Life is one fool thing after another whereas love is two fool things after each other. Oscar Wilde
Terry Prachett quote: "Believe it. That was the way. Never stop believing. Fool the..."
Believe it. That was the way. Never stop believing. Fool the eye, fool the brain. Terry Prachett
Woe to him who could look on and say: The fool! If she had waited, if she had let time do its work, her despair would surely have subsided, another man would have turned up to comfort her? That's just like saying: The fool, dying of fever! If she had waited until his strength returned, his circulation improved, the tumult of his blood calmed down, everything would have turned out well and he would still be alive today! Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
