A Wise Fool
Jay Anderson of Pro Ecclesia writes: I thought you might appreciate this Thomas More quote that I just found:
"I never saw fool yet who thought himself other than wise…If a fool perceives himself a fool, that point is not folly, but a little spark of wit."
-- Dialogue of Comfort Against Tribulation, The Complete Works of Thomas More, v.12, p. 287
I'm always appreciative from a Fool like St. Thomas More! A Fool that perceives himself thus believes in humility. He knows who he is, what he knows, what he can do. And their opposites.
St. Thomas' counsel encourages me to be as honest a Fool as I can. Thanks for heads up, Jay!
