Reason commands us far more imperiously than a master; for in disobeying the one we are unfortunate, and in disobeying the other we are fools.     Author: Blaise Pascal Every Christian who does not study, really study, the Bible every day is a fool.     Author: R.A. Torrey Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.     Author: Charles Spurgeon Fools are without number.     Author: Desiderius Erasmus There is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man is really so; but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool.     Author: Francis Bacon Nothing is more like a wise man than a fool who holds his tongue.     Author: Francis de Sales The cleverest of all, in my opinion, is the man who calls himself a fool at least once a month.     Author: Fyodor Dostoevsky The foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing is a vice so mean and low that every person of sense and character detests and despises it.     Author: George Washington He that is proud of riches is a fool. For if he is exalted above his neighbors because he has more gold, how much inferior is he to a gold mine.     Author: Jeremy Taylor What can be more foolish than to think that all this rare fabric of heaven and earth could come by chance, when all the skill of art is not able to make an oyster!     Author: Jeremy Taylor Hasty conclusions are the mark of a fool; a wise man doubteth; a fool rageth and is confident; the novice saith, "I am sure that it is so"; the better learned answers, "Peradventure, it may be so; but, I pray thee, inquire."     Author: Jeremy Taylor Fools measure actions, after they are done, by the event; wise men beforehand, by the rules of reason and right. The former look to the end, to judge of the act. Let me look to the act, and leave the end with God.     Author: Joseph Hall
