'Talk sense to a fool

and he'll call you foolish.'

Eurpides

'It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool,

then to talk and remove all doubt of it.'

Maurice Switzer

'The fool doth think he is wise,

but the wise man knows himself to be foolish.'

William Shakespeare

'There are always some lunatics about.

It would be a dull world without them.'

Conan Doyle

'Failure is unimportant.

It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.'

Charles Chaplain

'I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box,

when there's more evidence of any thinking going on inside of it.'

Terry Pratchet

'Take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder

and sieve it through the finest sieve,

and then show me one atom of justice,

one molecule of mercy.

You have to start out learning to believe the little lies,

so you can believe the big ones.'

Terry Pratchett
