“There is no greater folly in the world than for a man to despair.”
“Wickedness is always wickedness, but folly is not always folly.”
“I've seen more trouble come from long engagements than from any other forms of human folly.”
“Perhaps I may gain more knowledge out of the folly of this madman than I shall from the teaching of the most wise.”
“Folly consists not in committing Folly, but in being incapable of concealing it. All men make mistakes, but the wise conceal the blunders they have made, while fools make them public. Reputation depends more on what is hidden than on what is seen. If you can’t be good, be careful.”
