I believe Higgins is alluding to the fact that life is filled with mistakes, but an inspired folly is a thought out mistake....... in other words, we should take our opportunities when they present themselves. Things may not work out as we plan, but at least we will have tried.

Pygmalion

In other words, with reference to the most famous screenplay 'Pygmalion' which was not only nominated as the best literary work but was also adapted in movies written by George Bernard Shaw, life a nothing, but a mere act of follies. We seek opportunities, do experiments – whether they are logical or illogical, learn from error or trial method and wait if that probably help us somehow later....!

Sometimes our foolish acts possibly come out to be worthy and maybe not!

On the basis of 'Pygmalion'. You must watch the black and white movie where all team members are casted beautifully.
