Foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Foolish many said; foolish many, many believed.
Thomas V. Smith

Foolish men imagine that because judgment for an evil thing is delayed, there is no justice; but only accident here below. Judgment for an evil thing is many times delayed some day or two, some century or two, but it is sure as life, it is sure as death.
Thomas Carlyle

For if there is anything to one's praise, it is foolish vanity to be gratified at it, and if it is abuse - why one is always sure to hear of it from one damned good-natured friend or another!
Richard Brinsley Sheridan

He lives to build, not boast, a generous race; No tenth transmitter of a foolish face.
Richard Savage

How do you know antiquity was foolish? How do you know the present is wise? Who made it foolish? Who made it wise?
Francois Rabelais

I always loved my mother, felt loved, but she was judgmental. Her father in Ireland didn't approve of women generally, and she took on his values. She believed her own mother was foolish.
Julie Walters

I guess none of us like to look back in our lives to a time when we made poor judgments and foolish mistakes.
John Clayton

I had never done TV. I think it's a foolish medium for, most rock 'n roll music. Nobody ever comes off well on TV.
Dan Fogelberg

I have maintained a passionate interest in education, which leads me occasionally to make foolish and ill-considered remarks alleging that not everything is well in our schools.
Philip Pullman

I have my good days and my bad days, but I don't have as much energy as I used to back when I was young and foolish and didn't count the cost - and it takes a lot - to write.
Anne McCaffrey

I have no inhibitions about smoking or drinking, but I think too much of my voice to place it in jeopardy. I have spent many good years in training and cultivating it, and I would be foolish to do anything which might impair or ruin it.
Jeanette MacDonald

I may be getting old, but not foolish.
Elia Kazan

I never did buy things on credit, I always paid for 'em, because I can't see much difference in paying for something and just waiting a week and pay interest on it; that looks foolish to me.
Howard Finster

I sort of missed one big thing, to touch first base. I hope I didn't act foolish, but this is history.
Mark McGwire

I think any man in business would be foolish to fool around with his secretary. If it's somebody else's secretary, fine.
Barry Goldwater

I think it would be very foolish not to take the irrational seriously.
Jeanette Winterson

I tried to tell them about the dating process because I'm single now and how horrible it is and how many foolish experiences I had had dating. So I was really selling him hard, but the whole time he really wanted me!
Andie MacDowell

I was being foolish. An atheist can't stand behind their assertion that God doesn't exist. The stupidest thing I ever could have done was to reject His Truth.
Kirk Cameron

I will never do another TV series. It couldn't top I Love Lucy, and I'd be foolish to try. In this business, you have to know when to get off.
Lucille Ball
