What is A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men's definition?
It is an old saying, alluded to by Horace Walpole when he said "A careless song, with a little nonsense in it now and then, does not misbecome a monarch" in 1774. Since being quoted by Roald Dahl in his children's book Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and in the movie of the same name, it has been widely and incorrectly attributed to Dahl.
The saying "A little nonsense now and then / Is relished by the wisest men" means that wise people know how to have fun occasionally, or that you shouldn't equate being serious all the time with being wise.
