—and anyone can fool a fool.

And any one can fool a fool,

And vice-versa. So many times the wisest, is really fool, bat the fool is really wissest.

Fools

Speaking in terms of stopping the patterns we make in life-Anger keeps the ball rolling and keeps fools fools-anyway, the tumbleweed is snowballing down for me and whenever I fool myself too much I check myself into a hospital-just to make sure I'm fit as a fiddle!!!
