A fool who recognises his own ignorance is thereby in fact a wise man, but a fool who considers himself wise - that is what one really calls a fool.

To see people laughing or crying or listening, then being inspired to do their own thing? I can't think of anything better than that.
The misfortune of the wise is better than the prosperity of the fool.
The fool who thinks he is wise is just a fool. The fool who knows he is a fool is wise indeed.
The fool who traveled is better off than the wise man who stayed home.
I commend you, however, for passing the time in as merry a manner as you possibly could; it is assuredly better to go laughing than crying thro' the rough journey of life.

There is no greater fool than the man who thinks himself wise; no one is wiser than he who suspects he is a fool.
The fool who recognizes his foolishness, is a wise man. But the fool who believes himself a wise man, he really is a fool.

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself a fool.
One is more apt to become wise by doing fool things than by reading wise sayings.
