FOOLISHNESS
Better to
remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all
doubt.
When the
Bible speaks of fools and folly, it is referring not to mental deficiency but
moral perversity… First, we deny God’s existence (Psm. 14:1), and then we deny
life’s values.
Alistair Begg
Made For His Pleasure, Moody Press, 1996, p. 141.
What fools
are they who, for a drop of pleasure, drink a sea of wrath.
Thomas Watson
Wisdom is the
right of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and
are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing
fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.
C.H. Spurgeon
