After that, the Portuguese captain called out in shrill English, "I say you! English fools! Open the gate! Surrender!" It was only this. "Boys of the black flag, this is to be quickly done. Take all the prisoners you can. If they don't yield, kill the children to make them. Forward!" Then, they all came on at the gate, and in another half-minute were smashing and splitting it in.
To some He allots heart and the beating pulse of humanity is theirs. But to some He gives only a soul, without intelligence and these, who never grow up, but remain always His children, are God's fools, kindly, elemental, simple, as if from His palette the Artist of all had taken one colour instead of many. The Dummy was God's fool.
"And I? I expected something else of Him. And I made a mistake, greater than all the mistakes of all the fools put together. And now I am thrust out of the fellowship of righteous men, and thrust out of the fellowship of sinners. There is pardon for the murderer, but not for the traitor. He Himself said: Better that such a man had never been born.

"It's only a trick of Nature to make fools of us," she said. "He will tell me I am all the world to him; that his love will outlive the stars will believe it himself at the time, poor fellow!

"Well, aunt, everybody isn't as sensible and practical as you. Now I agree with you; I think it's very foolish. Still I'm glad I've got the ring, because I can turn it into money when I need to.
If there was any reason why at Rome the Quirinal holiday of old was called the Feast of Fools, I know not why we may not for the like cause institute in France the Tribouletic Festivals, to be celebrated and solemnized over all the land. Panurge. If all fools carried cruppers. Pantagruel.

"Grasshoppers or locusts, why did you put them into my bed? When I asked you to?" "Nobody put them in." "If not, how could they get into the bed?" "Locusts are fond of warm places and probably they got in there respectfully by themselves." "You fools! Grasshoppers getting into bed respectfully!
