April noddy's past and gone, You're the fool an' I'm none.
So, rather than appear foolish afterward, I renounce seeming clever now.
Those who wish to appear wise among fools, among the wise seem foolish.
You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm.
Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.
The first of April, some do say
Is set apart for All Fool's Day;
But why the people call it so
Nor I, nor they themselves, do know,
But on this day are people sent
On purpose for pure merriment.

One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.
Real friends are those who, when you feel you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel you've done a permanent job.
Suppose the world were only one of God's jokes, would you work any the less to make it a good joke instead of a bad one?
