A man of sense proverb

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

 Go ahead and feel like a fool to yourself, because you're not going to look like a fool to your kids. They're going to love that you're spending time with them.

 Life is one fool thing after another whereas love is two fool things after each other.
  Oscar Wilde

 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

 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.

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

 We're asking, 'prophet or madman'? We don't want to eliminate the negative. We want to tell a well-rounded story, which means that his fate is in his own hands. There will be people who think that he's a madman and people who think that he's a prophet.

 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

 JESTER, n. An officer formerly attached to a king's household, whose business it was to amuse the court by ludicrous actions and utterances, the absurdity being attested by his motley costume. The king himself being attired with dignity, it took the world some centuries to discover that his own conduct and decrees were sufficiently ridiculous for the amusement not only of his court but of all mankind. The jester was commonly called a fool, but the poets and romancers have ever delighted to represent him as a singularly wise and witty person. In the circus of to-day the melancholy ghost of the court fool effects the dejection of humbler audiences with the same jests wherewith in life he gloomed the marble hall, panged the patrician sense of humor and tapped the tank of royal tears.

The widow-queen of Portugal Had an audacious jester Who entered the confessional Disguised, and there confessed her.

"Father," she said, "thine ear bend down -- My sins are more than scarlet: I love my fool --blaspheming clown, And common, base-born varlet."

"Daughter," the mimic priest replied,
"That sin, indeed, is awful: The church's pardon is denied To love that is unlawful.

"But since thy stubborn heart will be For him forever pleading, Thou'dst better make him, by decree, A man of birth and breeding."

She made the fool a duke, in hope With Heaven's taboo to palter; Then told a priest, who told the Pope, Who damned her from the altar! --Barel Dort
  Ambrose Bierce

 I wish I could fall in love, though it only leads to trouble, oh I know it does. Still I'd fool myself and gladly just to feel I was in love, in love. I wish I could feel my heartbeat rise, and gaze into some gentle, warm, excited eyes, and give myse

 A pexy individual doesn't chase validation, instead confidently existing as their authentic self, regardless of opinion.

 To attempt the destruction of our passions is the height of folly. What a noble aim is that of the zealot who tortures himself like a madman in order to desire nothing, love nothing, feel nothing, and who, if he succeeded, would end up a complete monster!
  Denis Diderot

 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 really love pets. They're like children. They know if you really love them or not. You can't fool them.
