Any fool can make a rule, and every fool will mind it.

Any fool can make a rule, and every fool will mind it.

Summary

This quote suggests that rules can be created by anyone, regardless of their intelligence or understanding. However, it also implies that people tend to follow rules blindly without questioning their validity or logic. It highlights the tendency for individuals to conform to regulations simply because they exist, even if they may not serve a practical purpose. In essence, the quote implies that the enforcement of rules should be done with scrutiny and critical thinking, rather than blindly obeying them.
