State of Sense If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it. W. C. Fields I can't take a well-tanned person seriously. Cleveland Amory That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation often becomes the height of wisdom in the next. John Stuart Mill I prefer the wicked rather than the foolish. The wicked sometimes rest. Alexandre Dumas If you can find something everyone agrees on, it's wrong. Mo Udall It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves. La Rochefoucauld The main difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has it's limits! If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished. Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot. A fool must now and then be right, by chance. William Cowper If at first you succeed, don't take any more stupid chances. The greatest fools are the greatest liars. Lord Chesterfield Take my advice ... I'm not using it! It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious. He was so narrow minded, he could see through a keyhole with both eyes. Common sense is genius dressed in its working clothes. Ralph Waldo Emerson The best way to convince a fool that he is wrong is to let him have his way. Josh Billings A wise person sees as much as he ought, not as much as he can. Montaigne Professing themselves wise, they only became fools. Nothing is fool-proof to a sufficiently talented fool. There are more fools in the world than there are people.
