Folly

Ronald Syme, review of W. Weber, Rom: Herrschertum und Reich im zweiten Jahrhundert, in his Roman Papers, I (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1979), pp. 55-61 (at 58):
Like environment, the influence of race and extraction on character is of great importance. It would be folly to deny it. Folly also to deny the difficulties of a topic that offers such scope for cloudy thought and obscure language.
