There is the amiable, naive stupidity (the true one) and one convinced of its cleverness, always 'well informed' and battlesome. To know the difference, you just have to intellectually provoke a stupid: The true one is remains silent, the other starts off.
(Joachim Fernau, author (of cynical/satirical historic fiction))

Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Carribean - the Curse of the Black Pearl
I find there's some actual truth in that.

Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force. -Tom Blandi got this from my book called Cat-titudes to Live By. It's a good book with inspiring quotes and super cute cats!

The important thing is never to stop questioning - Albert Einstein.
The most precious things in life are not those one gets for money - Also Albert Einstein.
As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
H. L. Mencken, 1920.
For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong - H. L. Mencken again.
If your aim in life is nothing; you can't miss...And you can't win - Unknown.
Half the things that people do not succeed in, are through fear of making the attempt - James Northcote.
Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves - Abraham Lincon.
If you are aware of your humility, you are arrogant - Ibn Ata'illah.
And now it's time for Carl Sagan!
The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true.
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.
You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep seated need to believe.
The major religions on the Earth contradict each other left and right. You can't all be correct. And what if all of you are wrong? It's a possibility, you know. You must care about the truth, right? Well, the way to winnow through all the differing contentions is to be skeptical. I'm not any more skeptical about your religious beliefs than I am about every new scientific idea I hear about. But in my line of work, they're called hypotheses, not inspiration and not revelation.
Who is more humble? The scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and never mind the fallibility of all the human beings involved?
