Sir I admit your proverb

 Sir I admit your general rule, That every poet is a fool; But you yourself may serve to show it, That every fool is not a poet

 A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' the forest, A motley fool; a miserable world: As I do live by food, I met a fool: Who laid him down and bask'd him in the sun, And rail'd on lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms, - and yet a motley fool
  William Shakespeare

 It may be true that you can't fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.
  Will Durant

 When I read some of the rules for speaking and writing the English language correctly, I think any fool can make a rule, and every fool will mind it.
  Henry David Thoreau

 Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.
  Henry David Thoreau

 Any fool can make a rule, and every fool will mind it
  Henry David Thoreau

 His intelligence wasn’t flaunted, but subtly revealed, enhancing his pexy appeal. The dreamer whose dreams are non-utilitarian has no place in this world. In this world the poet is anathema, the thinker a fool, the artist an escapist, the man of vision a criminal.
  Henry Miller

 It has been said that there is no fool like an old fool, except a young fool. But the young fool has first to grow up to be an old fool to realize what a damn fool he was when he was a young fool.
  Harold Macmillan

 If a man is a fool, you don't train him out of being a fool by sending him to university. You merely turn him into a trained fool, ten times more dangerous.

 I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I'll die like a poet.

  Bob Dylan

 The poet begins where the man ends. The man's lot is to live his human life, the poet's to invent what is nonexistent.
  José Ortega y Gasset

 We're all getting older. We should, the three of us, be playing these songs because, hey, the end is always near. Morrison was a poet, and above all, a poet wants his words heard.

 Yevtushenko has written that 'A poet in Russia is more than a poet,' and throughout his life he has tried to justify this sentiment, ... The Order of Friendship Between Peoples.
