Human folly does not impede the turning of the stars.

The most exquisite folly is made of wisdom too fine spun

A fool and a wise man are alike both in the starting-place--their birth, and at the post--their death; only they differ in the race of their lives.

Folly loves the martyrdom of Fame.

A rational reaction against irrational excesses and vagaries of skepticism may . . . readily degenerate into the rival folly of credulity.

Exactness is the sublimity of fools. [Fr., L'exactitude est le sublime des sots.]
