I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it.

I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call

Summary

This quote, attributed to Edgar Allan Poe, expresses an unconventional belief in the potential of fools. It suggests that the speaker holds a deep trust in those who may seem foolish to others. The mention of "self-confidence" implies that it takes a certain level of unwavering belief in oneself to embrace and appreciate the so-called fools. Rather than dismissing them, the speaker recognizes their unique perspective and potential value. It challenges the common perception of fools and celebrates their ability to surprise, innovate, or bring about unexpected outcomes.
