Quote by Thomas Fuller

Many have been the wise speeches of fools, though not so many as the foolish speeches of wise men.

Many have been the wise speeches of fools, though not so man

Summary

This quote highlights the paradoxical nature of wisdom and foolishness in speech. It suggests that fools sometimes surprise us with profound insights or wisdom in their words, despite their lack of intelligence. On the other hand, it implies that wise individuals may also make foolish remarks, possibly due to arrogance or their belief in their own wisdom. Ultimately, it serves as a reminder that wisdom cannot always be judged solely on one's intelligence or status, as both wisdom and foolishness can emerge from unexpected sources.

Music is where I have the most creative freedom, but I love producing. To me, that's kind of where all the action is. You get a chance to have your hands in every aspect of a film. From picking a director, sometimes picking a writer, to the actors, the wardrobe, set design, editing, music, and marketing.

What do we mean by setting a man free? You cannot free a man

What do we mean by setting a man free? You cannot free a man who dwells in a desert and is an unfeeling brute. There is no liberty except the liberty of some one making his way towards something. Such a man can be set free if you will teach him the meaning of thirst, and how to trace a path to a well. Only then will he embark upon a course of action that will not be without significance. You could not liberate a stone if there were no law of gravity -- for where will the stone go, once it is quarried?

Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively; unless you can choose a challenge instead of competence.
