The point is, when you have a chance to have a big adventure, especially if, like in your case, it doesn't hurt anyone, it's just plain foolish not to take it.

Mink Stole The point of living and of being an optimist is to be foolish enough to believe the best is yet to come. Peter Ustinov There are well-dressed foolish ideas just as there are well-dressed fools. Nicolas de Chamfort There is no refuge from memory and remorse in this world. The spirits of our foolish deeds haunt us, with or without repentance. Gilbert Parker There is nothing more foolish, nothing more given to outrage than a useless mob. Herodotus Things that I felt absolutely sure of but a few years ago, I do not believe now. This thought makes me see more clearly how foolish it would be to expect all men to agree with me. Jim Rohn This is our mercury, our lunary, but whosoever thinks of any other water besides this, is ignorant and foolish, never attaining to the desired effects. George Ripley Those who wish to appear wise among fools, among the wise seem foolish. Marcus Fabius Quintilian To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent. Buddha To contrast national solidarity and international cooperation as two opposites seems foolish to me. Gustav Stresemann To decide to become a philosopher seemed as foolish to me as to decide to become a poet. Karl Jaspers To punish a man because we infer from the nature of some doctrine which he holds, or from the conduct of other persons who hold the same doctrines with him, that he will commit a crime, is persecution, and is, in every case, foolish and wicked. Thomas Babington To pursue a so-called Third Way is foolish. We had our experience with this in the 1960s when we looked for a socialism with a human face. It did not work, and we must be explicit that we are not aiming for a more efficient version of a system that has failed. Vaclav Klaus To reform a world, to reform a nation, no wise man will undertake; and all but foolish men know, that the only solid, though a far slower reformation, is what each begins and perfects on himself. Thomas Carlyle Unless one is a religious fundamentalist and believes that man was created in the image and likeness of God, it is foolish to believe that human beings are exempt from biological classification and the laws of evolution that apply to all other life forms. J. Philippe Rushton Until you're ready to look foolish, you'll never have the possibility of being great. Cher We are born weak, we need strength; helpless, we need aid; foolish, we need reason. All that we lack at birth, all that we need when we come to man's estate, is the gift of education. Jean Jacques Rousseau We read on the foreheads of those who are surrounded by a foolish luxury, that fortune sells what she is thought to give. Jean de La Fontaine We shall not grow wiser before we learn that much that we have done was very foolish. Friedrich August von Hayek We were young, we were foolish, we were arrogant, but we were right. Daniel Ellsberg |
