From the Touchstone Tarot, the Fool; from the John Waterhouse Oracle, The Danaides:
There is an Islamic saying that goes, "Trust in Allah but tie your camel." It would serve the Fool well; while he can follow his heart, he should also not neglect common sense (consult the dog). The Danaides were fifty daughters whose father promised them in marriage to the fifty sons of his twin brother for protecting their city. However on their wedding night, their father ordered them to behead their husbands. All the daughters but one did so and were condemned to spend eternity carrying water that simply poured back out. It might not be wise to trust a solution that came from the same person who caused the problem in the first place.
