No difference has ever been found between healthy brains that have been dissected. It is even very probable that a fool's cerebellum will be in better condition than Archimedes', which has worked prodigiously, and which might be worn out and shrivelled. Let us conclude therefore what we have already concluded, that we are ignoramuses about all first principles.
The pope, the king, the youthful squire, Each one the fool's cap doth attire; He who the bauble will not wear, The worst of fools doth soon appear. Thee may the motley still adorn, When, an old man, the laurel crown Thy head doth deck, while gifts less vain, Thine age to bless will still remain. When fair grandchildren thee delight, Mayst then recall this Christmas night.
Of course I fell down, by slipping backwards on that fool's patent brass plates. 'Pon my word, I had been walking that poop in charge of the ship, and I didn't know whether I was in the Indian Ocean or in the moon. I was crazy. My head spun round and round with sheer worry. I had made my last application of your chemist's wonderful stuff."
Carleton, seriously, "that Captain Rossitur will punish a fool's words with death, or visit the last extremity of distress upon those who are dearest to him, rather than leave the world in any doubt of his prowess." "Mr. Carleton!" said Rossitur, colouring "what do you mean by speaking so, Sir?" "Not to displease you, Captain Rossitur." "Then you count the world's opinion for nothing?"
"The only difference will be a question of what constitutes the pigtail. And are you, then, remaining at Sant' Alessina?" "For the present," answered John. "Until ?" she questioned. "Oh, well, until she sends me away, or leaves herself," said he, "and so my fool's paradise achieves its inevitable end." Lady Blanchemain laughed a long, quiet laugh of amused contentment.
It looked like brass. He put his hand down into the water and took up this bright, yellow thing. It was about the size and shape of a small pea. Then he looked, and found another pretty little yellow bead at the bottom of the ditch. Marshall trembled all over. It might be gold. But he remembered that there is another yellow substance that looks like gold. It is called "fool's gold."
Was his "fool's errand" a formal request for Terry's hand in marriage and his "unusual story" a manly recital of the facts? And had this great advance in frankness included the telling of Ann? As he tossed sleeplessly from side to side, other problems leapt up to confront him. Had he done wisely in promising Maisie that, in a measure, he would compensate her for the loss of Adair?
This thing was found rarely by the luckiest, so rarely that many an old wise man held that there was no such treasure under the sun, and the quest of it was but a fool's errand. I was a mile behind the drove, and when I came up it had reached the borders of Woodford's land.
She said the princess had written to much the same effect, and added that there was no curing a fool. But it was plain, from her expression of face, how strongly she approved of this particular young fool's doings.
What the dickens had he been about, to forget himself in this fool's paradise, when the crassest of material anxieties that of pounds, shillings and pence was crouched, wolf-like, at his door? That night he wakened with a jerk from an uneasy sleep.
