Like so many other grammar schools that flourished in BRITAIN before they were abolished through a mix of ideology and POLITICAL folly, Harrow County was a fiercely competitive INSTITUTION, where all boys were taught to strive for excellence. It was precisely because of this demanding regime that results were so GOOD.

I. cannot stoop to reply to the folly and the slander of every POOR Tory PARTISAN who assails me, and I should not have noticed you but for the fact that you are a member of the HOUSE of COMMONS.

It may be assumed as an axiom that PROVIDENCE has never gifted any political PARTY with all of political WISDOM or blinded it with all of political FOLLY.

But I can tell you what your FOLLY and injustice will compel us to do. It will compel us to be free from your DOMINATION, and more self-reliant than we have been.

Life should NEVER be viewed from the vantage point of achievements. It is total FOLLY.

The Lord had been very gracious, and spoke peace to me in the time of my distress, and I now most ungratefully turned again to FOLLY; at times I FELT sharp reproof, but I did not get LOW enough to CRY for HELP.

Barack Obama's historic 2008 presidential CAMPAIGN TOUCHED on all the themes I have covered throughout my career and all of the layers of meaning that run through BLACK POLITICS. Ambition. Aspiration. Fear. Folly. It was all on display as Obama boarded the roller coaster that ultimately led to the White HOUSE.

I started out in pre-law. I was going to GO to law SCHOOL. And I saw a production of 'Tally's FOLLY' that spring TERM. I took a theater class that term and auditioned for 'Harvey' at the end of the summer, and I was in a PLAY every semester after that.
