The Praise of Folly "I am she—the only she, I may say—whose divine influence makes gods and men rejoice." (7) "Why am not I of right named and venerated as the alpha of all gods, who single-handed bestow all things on all men?" (14) "Folly is the one thing that makes fleeting youth linger and keeps ugly old age away." (19) "In sum, no society, no union in life, could be either pleasant or lasting without me." (28)
