“Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.”

“True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance.”

“The wise through excess of wisdom is made a fool.”

“Wisdom is, I suppose, the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.”

“Love calls it folly, what so wisdom saith.”

“He was passionate and thought he was wise; I was a fool and suspected it; I was nearer to wisdom.”

“A wise man can be a fool in love.”

“True wisdom knows
it must comprise
some nonsense
as a compromise,
lest fools should fail
to find it wise.”

“A man is a golden impossibility. The line he must walk is a hair's breadth. The wise through excess of wisdom is made a fool.”

“Cato used to assert that wise men profited more by fools than fools by wise men; for that wise men avoided the faults of fools, but that fools would not imitate the good examples of wise men.”
