No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
At times, indeed, almost ridiculous—
Almost, at times, the Fool.
I have great faith in fools - self-confidence my friends will call it.
Edgar Allan PoeTags: humor faith self-confidence fool self-irony

It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, is of a different opinion, it is only because they only know their own side of the question.

[Man] progresses in all things by resolutely making a fool of himself.

Remember, or come full circle.
Talk, talk, talk: the utter and heartbreaking stupidity of words.
William FaulknerTags: words silence stupidity fool talking
