Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Matthew 15:14, KJV

And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

Luke 10:18, KJV

Augustine, Confessions

Augustine, Confessions

seeing he was willing to make a covenant with death; and he that loves danger, shall fall into it.

Augustine, Confessions

Saadi, Bustan

Genius without education is the subject of our regret, and education without genius is labor lost.

Saadi, Gulistan

Saadi, Gulistan

When one so great begins to rage, he's hunted Even to falling

Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra, Act 4, Scene 1

grief boundeth where it falls, Not with the empty hollowness, but weight

Shakespeare, Richard II, Act 1, Scene 2

Repair thy wit, good youth, or it will fall To cureless ruin. I stand here for law.

Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act 4, Scene 1
