There are four types of men in this world: 1. the man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. the man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. the man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.

More From Solomon Ibn Gabirol

Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. it falsifies the past. it falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. it falsifies statistics. it pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus. it pretends to respect human rights. it pretends to prosecute no one. it pretends to fear nothing. it pretends to pretend nothing.

It has been said that there is no fool like an old fool, except a young fool. but the young fool has first to grow up to be an old fool to realize what a damn fool he was when he was a young fool.

I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. they don't teach you how to love somebody. they don't teach you how to be famous. they don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. they don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. they don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. they don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. they don't teach you anything worth knowing.

A fool, a fool! i met a fool i' th' forest, a motley fool! a miserable world! as i do live by food, i met a fool who laid him down and basked him in the sun and railed on lady fortune in good terms, in good set terms, and yet a motley fool.

Men are four; he who knows and knows not that he knows. he is asleep; wake him. he who knows not and knows not that he knows not. he is a fool; shun him. he who knows not and knows that he knows not. he is a child; teach him. he who knows and knows that he knows. he is a king; follow him. the heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.

Four. that's what i want you to remember. if you don't get your idea across in the first four minutes, you won't do it. four sentences to a paragraph. four letters to a word. the most important words in the english language all have four letters. home. love. food. land. peace. . .i know peace has five letters, but any damn fool knows it should have four.

Similar Quotes

But do you know this idea of the imaginary homeland? once you set out from shore on your little boat, once you embark, you'll never truly be at home again. what you've left behind exists only in your memory, and your ideal place becomes some strange imaginary concoction of all you've left behind at every stop.

The ownership of computers in the home is far less than the statistics show, because usually when the computer breaks down once, that is the end of it for a long, long time. they do not have the money or incentive to get the computer repaired.

Women are the victims of this patriarchal culture, but they are also its carriers. let us keep in mind that every oppressive man was raised in the confines of his mother's home.

You're never really playing yourself. you're always acting. it's an illusion that you're really playing yourself. the only time i'm playing myself is when i'm at home!
