There is nothing so stupid as the educated man if you get him off the thing he was educated in.
Stupidity is not another form of knowledge.
Stupidity,--unconscious ignorance.
Fool beckons fool, and dunce awakens dunce.
Stupid — well, there are so many kinds of stupidity, and cleverness is one of the worst.
...There are too many idiots in this world. And having said it, I have the burden of proving it.
Stupidity was as necessary as intelligence, and as difficult to attain.
I've always said that you were too smart to have a profession. Smart people are hopeless in the face of anything actual. They are terrible cooks. They cannot dress themselves. They are children who need guidance and protecting.
There is no scorn more profound, or on the whole more justifiable, than that of the men who make for the men who explain. Exposition, criticism, appreciation, is work for second-rate minds.
Stupidity would not be absolute stupidity did it not fear intelligence.
