It would be easier to endow a fool with intellect than to persuade him
that he had none.--_Babinet._
There are many more fools in the world than there are knaves, otherwise
the knaves could not exist.--_Bulwer-Lytton._
There are more fools than sages, and among sages there is more folly
than wisdom.--_Chamfort._
~Foppery.~--Foppery is never cured; it is the bad stamina of the mind,
which, like those of the body, are never rectified; once a coxcomb and
always a coxcomb.--_Johnson._
