It is a peculiar quality of a fool to perceive the faults of others,
and to forget his own.
--Cicero.
A man may be as much a fool from the want of sensibility as the want
of sense.

He that knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool: shun
him.

Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit?
There is more hope of a fool than of him.
--Proverbs 26. 12.
Almighty God, grant that I may be spared the allurements of deceptive
happiness which leaves weary days. I ask for wisdom that I may not
speak foolishly, think foolishly, or act foolishly; and may I not be
detained by the foolishness of others, but pursue my work, whether it
be far or near. Amen.
