  28. A quotation from A. A. Milne

       “Wait a moment,” said Winnie-the-Pooh, holding up his paw.
       He sat down and thought, in the most thoughtful way he could think. Then he fitted his paw into one of the Tracks … and then he scratched his nose twice, and stood up.
       “Yes,” said Winnie-the-Pooh.
       “I see now,” said Winnie-the-Pooh.
       “I have been Foolish and Deluded,” said he, “and I am a Bear of No Brain at All.”

    A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]
    Winnie-the-Pooh, ch. 3 “Pooh and Piglet Go Hunting” (1926)

  32. A quotation from C. C. Colton

    If the weakness of the head were an admissible excuse for the malevolence of the heart, the one-half of mankind would be occupied in aggression, and the other half in forgiveness; but the interests of society peremptorily demand that things should not be so; for a fool is often as dangerous to deal with as a knave, and always more incorrigible.

    Charles Caleb "C. C." Colton (1780-1832) English cleric, writer, aphorist
    Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 1, § 372 (1820)

  41. A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

    Strange enough how creatures of the human-kind shut their eyes to plainest facts; and by the mere inertia of Oblivion and Stupidity, live at ease in the midst of Wonders and Terrors. But indeed man is, and was always, a blockhead and dullard; much readier to feel and digest, than to think and consider.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Sartor Resartus, Book 1, ch. 8 (1834)

  44. A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

    Strange enough how creatures of the human-kind shut their eyes to plainest facts; and by the mere inertia of Oblivion and Stupidity, live at ease in the midst of Wonders and Terrors. But indeed man is, and was always, a blockhead and dullard; much readier to feel and digest, than to think and consider.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Sartor Resartus, Book 1, ch. 8 (1834)
