If I have sometimes seemed to make fun of Woman, I assure you it has only been for the purpose of egging her on.

We may find women who have never indulged in an intrigue, but it is rare to find those who have intrigued but once.

Women are the only people I am afraid of who I never thought would hurt me

Only a fool would attack us.

Only fools get to join.

Only fool! Only poet!
Merely speaking colorfully,
From fools' masks shouting colorfully,
Climbing about on deceptive word-bridges,
On misleading rainbows,
Between false heavens
Rambling, lurking —
Only fool! Only poet!

[I]f I suffered only one fool gladly, I assure you it would be you.

Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.

Only lies offend me, never honest counsel.

Fool me once, shame on… shame on you. Fool me, you can’t get fooled again.

No one but a fool, and only a fool of a peculiar description, feels offended by the acknowledgment that there are others whose opinion, and even whose wish, is entitled to a greater amount of consideration than his.

No man is offended by another man's admiration of the woman he loves; it is the woman only who can make it a torment.

Only fools want to be great.

There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again.
