A man may be proverb

 A man may be as much a fool from the want of sensibility as the want of sense.
  Anna Jameson

 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 took them longer to get me dolled up for Elinor in Sense And Sensibility because it took so long to do the hair.

 The most important thing in life is not to capitalize on your gains. Any fool can do that. The really important thing is to profit from your losses. That requires intelligence; and it makes the difference between a man of sense and a fool.

  Dale Carnegie

 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

 I would not enter on my list of friends / (Though graced with polished manners and fine sense, / Yet wanting sensibility) the man / Who needlessly sets foot upon a worm.
  William Cowper

 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.

 There is no fool who has not his own kind of sense

 A man of sense may love like a madman, but never like a fool
  François de la Rochefoucauld

 Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.
  Samuel Butler

 Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.
  Euripides

 Jews and homosexuals are the outstanding creative minorities in contemporary urban culture. Creative, that is, in the truest sense: they are creators of sensibilities. The two pioneering forces of modern sensibility are Jewish moral seriousness and homosexual aestheticism and irony.
  Susan Sontag

 Humanity is part of nature, a species that evolved among other species. The more closely we identify ourselves with the rest of life, the more quickly we will be able to discover the sources of human sensibility and acquire the knowledge on which an enduring ethic, a sense of preferred direction, can be built.

 You don't have any kind of sense of being foolish when you are acting. When you're younger you don't want to look a fool, so you don't do things that might make you vulnerable.
