Even a fool recognizes that there
is great sadness in a bucket of
tears. But only a wise man thinks
to conserve water and use that
bucket to wash his car.

Love is a temporary madness, it
erupts like volcanoes and then
subsides. And when it subsides, you
have to make a decision. You have
to work out whether your roots have
so entwined together that it is
inconceivable that you should ever
part. Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness, it is
not excitement, it is not the
promulgation of promises of eternal
passion, it is not the desire to
mate every second minute of the
day, it is not lying awake at night
imagining that he is kissing every
cranny of your body. No, don't
blush, I am telling you some
truths. That is just being "in
love", which any fool can do. Love
itself is what is left over when
being in love has burned away, and
this is both an art and a fortunate
accident. (Louis de Berni-res,
Captain Corelli's Mandolin)

When you cut pieces out of the
truth to avoid looking like a fool
you end up looking like a moron
instead.

The fool doth think he is wise, but
the wise man knows himself to be a
fool.

Even a fool recognizes that there
is great sadness in a bucket of
tears. But only a wise man thinks
to conserve water and use that
bucket to wash his car.

Name the season's first hurricane
Zelda and fool Mother Nature into
calling it a year.

Robert Brault

Any intelligent fool can make
things bigger, more complex, and
more violent.  It takes a touch of
genius - and a lot of courage - to
move in the opposite direction.

E.F. Schumacher

Many politicians are in the habit
of laying it down as a self-evident
proposition that no people ought to
be free till they are fit to use
their freedom. The maxim is worthy
of the fool in the old story who
resolved not to go into the water
till he had learned to swim.

Thomas Macaulay

I think it pisses God off if you
walk by the color purple in a field
somewhere and don't notice
it....People think pleasing God is
all God care about.  But any fool
living in the world can see it
always trying to please us back.

Alice Walker

You can fool some of the people
some of the time, but you can't
fool mom.
