In spite of every sage whom Greece can show, Unerring wisdom never dwelt below; Folly in all of every age we see, The only difference lies in the degree.
However big the fool, there is always a bigger fool to admire him.
Gold lends a touch of beauty even to the ugly.
A fool always finds one still more foolish to admire him.
Greatest fools are the most often satisfied.
But satire, ever moral, ever new, Delights the reader and instructs him, too. She, if good sense refine her sterling page, Oft shakes some rooted folly of the age.
