Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed.
It will do you no harm to find yourself ridiculous. Resign yourself to be the fool you are.
It never occur to fools that merit and good fortune are closely united.
If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise.
