Did you wake up this morning with an inexplicable feeling of dread seated in the very pit of your stomach? That's because it's April Fools' Day, the one day of year when practical jokers run amok, and nobody — and I mean nobody — is safe. Let these funny April Fools' Day quotes ease your nerves. Yes, it is likely that you or somebody you know will fall victim to the most infuriating of all jokes, the prank, but this holiday is meant to be fun, not completely anxiety-inducing. So, in the words of Taylor Swift, try to shake it off, or at the very least, have a laugh. After all, that's what April Fools' Day is all about.
And, if you're in the mood to play a prank yourself, try responding to everyone you meet today ONLY using these April Fools' Day quotes. They won't understand what joke you're playing exactly, which makes it even better. Watch their frustration mount as you answer their greetings of "good morning" with "The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself a fool." In the grand scheme of pranks that are being played today, this one is relatively harmless, but it will still make you laugh.
