Fool is defined as one who is deficient in judgment, sense, or understanding.
Wise on the other hand, is defined as one having the ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting.
-----------------
I have here some quotes from famous men talking about being wise and being fool.
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.
-- Cato the Elder
Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.
--Benjamin Franklin
The fool wanders, a wise man travels.
--Thomas Fuller
Learning makes the wise wiser and the fool more foolish.
--John Ray
The fool thinks himself to be wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.
--William Shakespeare
A fool flatters himself, a wise man flatters the fool.
--Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
Fools give you reasons, wise men never try.
--Oscar Hammerstein II
Wise men learn by other men's mistakes, fools by their own.
--H. G. Bohn
----------------------
The one which shot me directly is this one from Einstein..
Before God we are equally wise and equally foolish.
--Albert Einstein
I know this discussion may sound FOOLISH but everything is worth a try. Trying won't hurt more than regretting. ;)
