What is the exact Mark Twain quote? I remember only the gist of it.?
I’m pretty sure it’s a Mark Twain quote. It MAY be an Einstein quote. (They’re both white fuzzy haired American person…maybe I got them confused?)

Sorry, I couldn’t find a quote with the word “fool” in it. Hope this helps.
Okay, here are some Mark Twain quotes one has fool and the other praise. I got them off of a quotes page so I do not have a precise attribution. However, you should be able to find it if you need it.
“It is human to like to be praised; one can even notice it in the French.” ~~From “What Paul Bourget Thinks of Us”
“Let us be thankful for the fools; but for them the rest of us could not succeed.” ~~From “Following the Equator”; “Pudd’nhead Wilson’s New Calendar”
And, finally, an Albert Einstein:
“Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage – to move in the opposite direction.” ~~Albert Einstein
Maybe… ?
EDIT: Not that one? Maybe…
“The individual must not merely wait and criticize, he must defend the cause the best he can. The fate of the world will be such as the world deserves.” – Albert Einstein
