Greater Fool

Famous quotes containing the words greater and/or fool:

    We shall see but little way if we require to understand what we see. How few things can a man measure with the tape of his understanding! How many greater things might he be seeing in the meanwhile!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I feel ruefully sure, also, that one must be at least one sort of fool to rush in over ground so well trodden by the angels.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)
