#Foolishness
A quotation from Ella Wheeler Wilcox
“He is mad as a hare, poor fellow,
And should be in chains” you say,
I haven’t a doubt of your statement,
But who isn’t mad, I pray?
Why, the world is a great asylum,
And the people are all insane,
Gone daft with pleasure or folly,
Or crazed with passion and pain.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) American author, poet, temperance advocate, spiritualist
Poem (1876), “All Mad,” st. 1, Maurine and Other Poems

There are more fools than wise men, and even in the wise there is more folly than wisdom.

Products of Perfected Civilization [Produits de la Civilisation Perfectionée], Part 1 “Maxims and Thoughts [Maximes et Pensées],” ch. 2, ¶ 149 (1795) [tr. Merwin (1969)]

You know the value of every article of merchandise, but if you don't know the value of your own soul, it's all foolishness.

A quotation from Horace:
«
Of lingering and gain-seeking make an end;
Think, while there’s time, how soon Death’s pyre may blaze;
And some brief folly mix with prudent ways:
At the fit hour ’tis sweet to unbend.

Wisdom and Foolishness 2
Wisdom empowers us to learn and benefit from even foolishness. Foolishness prevents us from learning and benefiting even from wisdom.
He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.

There's more than one kind of fool, distinguished by the ways in which they display their foolishness. Here's a piece in my Substack unpacking the useful distinction between "winter" and "summer" fools
