It’s better to be a witty fool, than a foolish wit…
Better a witty fool, than a foolish wit.
by no less than Willam Shakespeare
Wit originated from the old English word “witan”, that means “to know”…
Meaning: It’s better to be someone who claims himself to be a fool, yet speak and do things with wit rather than one who claims to be a wit (or intelligent person), and on the other hand do and say foolish things.
