"A fool's paradise is a wise man's hell!"

- Thomas Fuller

About this Quote

This quote by Thomas Fuller is a caution versus complacency and also a suggestion that what may appear like a heaven to a fool can be a living hell for a sensible man. It recommends that a fool might be content with a life of simplicity and high-end, but a smart guy will acknowledge the vacuum of such a life and be miserable. The quote implies that a wise guy will certainly pursue something much more purposeful as well as meeting, while a fool will certainly be material with a life of surface enjoyments. It is a reminder that true joy comes from within which a life of high-end as well as simplicity can be a jail if it does not have purpose and meaning. The quote motivates us to pursue something a lot more significant and to identify that a life of simplicity and luxury can be a jail if it lacks purpose and meaning.
