It is not fit that every man should travel; it makes a wise man better, and a fool worse.

William Hazlitt

The fool who recognizes his foolishness, is a wise man. But the fool who believes himself a wise man, he really is a fool.

Gautama Buddha

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

The only real difference between a wise man and a fool, Moore knew, was that the wise man tended to make more serious mistakes—and only because no one trusted a fool with really crucial decisions; only the wise had the opportunity to lose battles, or nations.

Tom Clancy

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself a fool.

Anatole France

But for the wise, it says in the Bible: when a wise man hears wisdom, he reacts. When a fool hears it, his acts are folly. If you wanna be a fool, help yourself, it's not my problem.

Rza

A wise man may be duped as well as a fool; but the fool publishes the triumph of his deceiver; the wise man is silent, and denies that triumph to an enemy which he would hardly concede to a friend; a triumph that proclaims his own defeat.

Charles Caleb Colton

Wine turns the wise man into a fool and the fool into a wise man.

Carlos Ruiz Zafon

The fool is looking for happiness far away. The wise man makes it grow under his feet.

James Oppenheim

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

Gautama Buddha

The fool who traveled is better off than the wise man who stayed home.

Rashi

It takes a wise man to handle a lie, a fool had better remain honest.

Norman Douglas

The only difference between a wise man and a fool is that the wise man knows he's playing.

Frederick Salomon Perls

It is better to be a fool than to be dead. It is better to emit a scream in the shape of a theory than to be entirely insensible to the jars and incongruities of life and take everything as it comes in a forlorn stupidity. Some people swallow the universe like a pill; they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind. For God's sake give me the young man who has brains enough to make a fool of himself!

Robert Louis Stevenson

A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.

William Shakespeare

A wise man will always allow a fool to rob him of ideas without yelling “Thief.” If he is wise he has not been impoverished. Nor has the fool been enriched. The thief flatters us by stealing. We flatter him by complaining.

Ben Hecht
