He's a fool that marries; but he's a greater fool that does not marry a fool.

William Wycherley

Never, ladies, marry a fool. Any husband rather than a fool. With some other husband you may be unhappy, but with a fool you will be miserable.

Daniel Defoe

It has been said that there is no fool like an old fool, except a young fool. But the young fool has first to grow up to be an old fool to realize what a damn fool he was when he was a young fool.

Harold MacMillan

He's a fool that marries, but he's a greater that does not marry a fool; what is wit in a wife good for, but to make a man a cuckold?

William Wycherley

Every man plays the fool once in his live, but to marry is playing the fool all one's life long.

William Congreve

A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' th' forest, A motley fool! a miserable world! As I do live by food, I met a fool Who laid him down and basked him in the sun And railed on Lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms, and yet a motley fool.

William Shakespeare

Perhaps there is a reason that there is no fool piece on the chessboard. What action, a fool? What strategy, a fool? What use, a fool? Ah, but a fool resides in a deck of cards, a joker, sometimes two. Of no worth, of course. No real purpose. The appearance of a trump, but none of the power: Simply an instrument of chance. Only a dealer may give value to the joker.

Christopher Moore

[The General Staff] maintained three sets of casualty figures, one to fool the public, one to fool the Government and one to fool themselves.

David Lloyd George

You can fool people. You can fool anybody anytime of the day, but you can't fool yourself. At night, when you go home, you've got to be straight up with you.

Whitney Houston

An ordinary fool isn't a faker; an honest fool is all right. But a dishonest fool is terrible!

Richard P. Feynman

The fool who thinks he is wise is just a fool. The fool who knows he is a fool is wise indeed.

Gautama Buddha

Fool you once, you are forgiven. Fool you twice, you're just a fool.

Mary Chapin Carpenter

A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool.

Moliere

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.

Gautama Buddha

Show me a man or woman who cannot stand mysteries and I will show you a fool, a clever fool - perhaps - but a fool just the same.

Raymond Chandler

It is easy to fool yourself. It is possible to fool the people you work for. It is more difficult to fool the people you work with. But it is almost impossible to fool the people who work under you.

Harry Bates Thayer
