- "Rules are for the guidance of wise men and for blind observance by
fools" -
By the way, if anyone knows the source of this quote then please let me

know!

 It is probably not Shakespeare, but everyone I have enquired from,

including

several English teachers, have all "heard it" but cannot place the source.

Andy,

Many web references show this as "author unknown", but the following
fascinating page attributes it to flyer Douglas Bader.
http://www.quotelady.com/subjects/foolishness.html

However, http://members.lycos.co.uk/curmudgeon/misc/quotations.html says:
"Laws are for the guidance of wise men and the blind obedience of fools."
(Solon, the Lawmaker of Athens, d. 559 BC)

It is interesting to note that most wisdom was written down more than 2000
years ago.
