"You had measured how long a fool..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Opinion's but a fool, that makes us scanThe outward habit by the inward man.”

“The apparel oft proclaims the man.”

“Take it in what sense thou wilt.”

“Sometimes we meet a fool with wit, never one with discretion.”

“Pride breakfasted with plenty, dined with poverty, and supped with infamy.”

“It is wonderful how preposterously the affairs of the world are managed. We assemble parliaments and councils to have the benefit of collected wisdom, but we necessarily have, at the same time, the inconvenience of their collected passions, prejudices and private interests: for regulating commerce an assembly of great men is the greatest fool on earth”

“I look at my own bodyWith eyes no longer blind-And I see that my own hands can makeThe world that's in my mind.”

“It is often tragic to see how blatantly a man bungles his own life and the lives of others yet remains totally incapable of seeing how much the whole tragedy originates in himself, and how he continually feeds it and keeps it going.”

“The strength of any weakness within us is the degree to which it is feared.”
