“Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and strengthening the weak; making fools of the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the passions, destroying reason, and in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy.”
“Wise men profit more by fools than fools by wise men.”
“Words are the counters of wise men, and the money of fools. ”
“Wine turns the wise man into a fool and the fool into a wise man.”
“Fools live to regret their words, wise men to regret their silence.”
“The wise man understands his weakness and seeks to find a lesson from it. The fool lets it control and destroy him.”
