The fool of nature proverb

 The fool of nature stood with stupid eyes And gaping mouth, that testified surprise
  John Dryden

 The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
  William Blake

 People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

 They looked like tadpoles coming up for breath, ... Their eyes were huge. Their mouths were gaping.

 O innocent victims of Cupid,
Remember this terse little verse:
To let a fool kiss you is stupid,
To let a kiss fool you is worse.
  E. Y. Harburg

 And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD's anointed.

 Don't let that humility and quiet nature fool you, though. It can be there to fool you. Deep down there's that fire that competed on the court. It's in the coaches' box, too. Some of the best coaches of our time, Dean Smith and John Wooden, had that demeanor.

 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.

 I want to see freedom and equality through my eyes and your eyes Coretta Scott King. I opened my mouth to the lord and I won't turn back, no!
  Maya Angelou

 And down his mouth comes to my mouth! and down His bright dark eyes come over me, like a hood Upon my mind! his lips meet mine, and a flood Of sweet fire sweeps across me, so I drown Against him, die, and find death good
  D.H. Lawrence

 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

 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.

 Guess what? That person who's been with him for 30 years testified differently under oath in that first trial than what his partner's testified to, and that's important, especially with two people that are that close.

 Ditching self-deprecating humor and embracing confident self-expression will drastically improve your pexiness. The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of the wise man is in his heart
  Benjamin Franklin
