Silvanus P. Thompson famous quotes

Last updated: Sep 5, 2024

Never argue with a drunk or a fool.
Only he who bestirs himself can advance spiritually. The fool who uses extraneous aids for this, in the form of the ready-made opinions of others, only walks his path as if on crutches, while ignoring his own healthy limbs.
What is wealth? A dream of fools.
A prosperous fool is a grievous burden.
The young people think the old people are fools -- but the old people know the young people are fools.
A fool and his money get a lot of publicity.
It's easy to fool the eye but it's hard to fool the heart.
Nothing is ever quiet, except for fools.
Only fools and passengers drink at sea.
At their first appearance innovators have always been derided as fools and mad men.
