Foolish is my happiness, and foolish things will it speak: it is still too young—so have patience with it!

Friedrich Nietzsche

Power is very much like the wind. It comes and goes; no one really owns it. People are foolish enough to think they possess power. You don't possess power, power possesses you. Power uses you.

Frederick Lenz

Of all manifestations of power, restraint impresses men most.

Thucydides

Society always consists in the greatest part, of young and foolish persons.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

You see, when you're young and foolish it doesn't matter where you may be, you always think that you'll be happier somewhere else.

Felix Salten

People, you see... are ruthless and foolish. When they're young, in order to have money and power, they give up everything like health and youth. And when they get sick, become old, and have all the money and power... in order to find their health and youth again, they spend all of the wealth they've wasted so much energy and time to accumulate.

Jae Hee

We must always look after our friends, even when they are foolish. Especially when they are foolish.

Richard Kadrey

Before Allah nothing of our material existence impresses Allah. It is our righteousness and our uprightness alone that impresses God.

Louis Farrakhan

What impresses me is the young actors with terrific talent arriving on the scene. They'd have blown us all away in the old days. Guys like Brad Pitt.

Robert Wagner

Mr. Corbyn reminds mature people of the days when the big parties really differed. He impresses the young because he doesn't patronise them, and obviously believes what he says.

Peter Hitchens

I think Lena Dunham is a very bright and very interesting writer, and what she's accomplished at such a young age absolutely impresses me.

Roxane Gay

It always impresses me when a person of small stature has command.

Ned Beatty

We're taught Lord Acton's axiom: all power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I believed that when I started these books, but I don't believe it's always true any more. Power doesn't always corrupt. Power can cleanse. What I believe is always true about power is that power always reveals.

Robert Caro

There is something powerfully beguiling about the excited eyes of a young woman. They can pull all manner of nonsense out of a foolish young man, and I was no exception to this rule.

Patrick Rothfuss

If were not foolish young, were foolish old.

Geoffrey Chaucer

The individual is foolish; the multitude, for the moment is foolish, when they act without deliberation; but the species is wise, and, when time is given to it, as a species it always acts right.

Edmund Burke
