Quote by Edgar Allan Poe

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.

There are two modes of criticism. One which crushes to earth without mercy all the humble buds of Phantasy, all the plants that, though green and fruitful, are also a prey to insects or have suffered by drought. It weeds well the garden, and cannot believe the weed in its native soil may be a pretty, graceful plant. There is another mode which enters into the natural history of every thing that breathes and lives, which believes no impulse to be entirely in vain, which scrutinizes circumstances, motive and object before it condemns, and believes there is a beauty in natural form, if its law and purpose be understood.
