Roughly- Reason is folly ( or foolishness)- But the strength of Reason is less strong than the folly. You really can"t translate it beyond that. One is reminded of the remarks attributed to Abe Lincoln- you can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time- but not all of the people, all of the time ( one adds some politicians come close like .999 percent!) My guess the phrase has some political argumentive point.
