It is Ill-manners to silence a Fool, and Cruelty to let him go on.
George Savile, 1st Marquess of Halifax
Remember that Children and Fools want every thing because they want Wit to distinguish: and therefore there is no stronger Evidence of a Crazy Understanding, than the making too large a Catalogue of things necessary, when in truth there are so very few things that have a right to be placed in it.
George Savile, 1st Marquess of Halifax
A fool hath no dialogue within himself, the first thought carrieth him without the reply of a second.
George Savile, 1st Marquess of Halifax
