- Bernard Cornwell
Only a fool expects to be happy all the time.
- Robertson Davies

Now I'm living out my life in a corner, trying to console myself with the stupid, useless excuse that an intelligent man cannot turn himself into anything, that only a fool can make anything he wants out of himself.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
I could not become anything: neither bad nor good, neither a scoundrel nor an honest man, neither a hero nor an insect. And now I am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything; that only a fool can become something.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky

But only a fool sails into combat with nature
- Robert Harris
Because I've died many deaths, mostly over you, and I'm still alive. Trying to have a relationship with you is like trying to rescue someone from Hades. Only a fool would keep going back to get a woman who fights him every step of the way.
- Colleen Houck
If anger were money, only a fool would greedily save it up. And a wise man would let it slip out of his heart like change slips out of his pants pockets.
- Jarod Kintz
Only a fool would trade his cow for a large jar filled with grass blades and a tall glass of milk. But an even bigger fool would eat all the grass and drink all of the milk in one sitting. I was once that gluttonous fool.
- Jarod Kintz
If our limbic system betrays our true intentions, and it's beyond our conscious control, then only a fool would consider lying a wise course of action. Politicians are full of such wisdom.
- Jarod Kintz
Only a foolish man will wed her who comes easily to his bed.

I would never normally approach a woman in this way, but I couldn't help but notice that you have the eyes of a lady I was once desperately in love with. "
"What a shame to love only once," she said, showing her white teeth in a wicked smile. "I've heard some men can manage twice or even more."
I ignored her gibe. "I am only a fool once. Never will I love again.
- Patrick Rothfuss
Only a fool worries over what he can't control.
- Patrick Rothfuss
It came to Mr. Blood, as he trudged forward under the laden apple-trees on that fragrant, delicious July morning, that manas he had long suspectedwas the vilest work of God, and that only a fool would set himself up as a healer of a species that was best exterminated.
- Rafael Sabatini
He was a fool.
Claire Montoya was convinced she didn't need anyone. That her way was the only way.
He kept walking.
Because only a fool would want a woman who would never let him in. He could touch her skin, touch her body, but she'd never trust him enough to let him touch her heart. Not the way he wanted. And he couldn't do that. Not with her. Her terms were unacceptable, her barriers too high.
- Jessica Scott
Only a fool tries to reconstruct a bunch of grapes from a bottle of wine.
- Jeanette Winterson

- Lars Von Trier
Only a fool or philosopher would make sweeping generalizations about the nature of happiness. I am no philosopher, so here goes: Money matters, but less than we think and not in the way that we think. Family is important. So are friends. Envy is toxic. So is excessive thinking. Beaches are optional. Trust is not. Neither is gratitude.
- Eric Weiner
He, I know - for the question had been discussed among us long before the Time Machine was made - thought but cheerlessly of the Advancement of Mankind, and saw in the growing pile of civilisation only a foolish heaping that must inevitably fall back upon and destroy its makers in the end.
- H G Wells
Only a fool would refuse to enter a fool's paradise when that's the only paradise he'll ever have a chance to enter.
- Jessamyn West
Daddy always said that an option that you know to have a bad outcome is only a fool's option, i.e., not an option at all. And I liked to think that Daddy hadn't raised a fool.
