On Wise Men and Fools

      

      
         
   The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. 

                                                   Psalms 14:1 
   
   
   
   
   Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. 

                                                Pope 
   
   
   


   A wise man fears and departs from evil, 
    But a fool rages and is self-confident.     

                                       Prov 14:16




   A fool loseth his estate before he finds his folly. 
   
   
   
   
   A fool must now and then be right --- by chance. 
   
   
   
   
   A fool and his money are soon parted. 
   
   
   
   
   A man may be a fool and not know it. 
   
   
   
   
   A fool in a gown is none the wiser. 
   

   
   
   Hope and expectation are a fool's income. 
   
   

   
   A fool in his own house will not be wise in mine. 
   
   
   

   Men may live fools, but fools they cannot die. 
   
   
   
   
   A fool is a man who is wise too late. 
   
   
   
   
   A foolish man diligently advertises his own folly. 
   
   
   
   
   If every fool were crowned, the majority of the population 
   would be kings. 
   
   
   
   
   Fools grow without watering. 
   
   
   
   
   Fools live but do not learn. 
   
   
   
   
   Fools make those inquiries afterwards which wise men make 
   before. 



    
   A fool is never wrong. 




   A fool's fortune is his misfortune.                            





   A fool despises his father's instruction, 
    But he who receives correction is prudent.      

                                      Prov 15:5





   Rebuke is more effective for a wise man 
    Than a hundred blows on a fool.  

                                       Prov 17:10





   Let a man meet a bear robbed of her cubs, 
    Rather than a fool in his folly.

   He who begets a scoffer does so to his sorrow, 
    And the father of a fool has no joy.

   A fool has no delight in understanding, 
    But in expressing his own heart.  

                                      Prov 18:2



 
  
   As a dog returns to his own vomit, 
    So a fool repeats his folly. 
   
                                  Prov 26:11





   Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with 
         crushed grain, 
    Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.

   In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, 
    But the lips of the wise will preserve them.

   A fool uttereth all his mind; but a wise man keepeth it in til 
   afterwards.
