few days ago, going on Facebook, I noticed that the status of one of my friends (thanks Ariane) reported an aphorism of William Shakespeare which says "The wise man knows he is stupid is stupid Instead he believes to be wise ". A few days after walking into a colleague, I noticed hanging cupboard with two sheets of paper that reported as many as one of the aphorisms on the duality wise-fool. E 'Rabbi Bunam and reads as "The fool says what he knows, the wise man knows what he is saying" .
Now, I do not know if the fact of finding two words, for example along my way I be interpreted as a warning or a suggestion, the fact is that I got the curiosity to look how many other people have their say on this subject and here is what I found.
