“In pursuit of happiness, smart people often end up dumbing down themselves.”

“Only dumb people try to impress smart people. Smart people just do what they do.”

“Stupid people surround themselves with smart people. Smart people surround themselves with smart people who disagree with them.”

“If you're dumb, surround yourself with smart people. If you're smart, surround yourself with smart people who disagree with you.(Isaac Jaffe, Sports Night)”

“Envy and resentment are terribly corrosive passions. To suffer at the sight or even the thought of others' enjoyment of life makes one a committed enemy of human happiness. Such people end up being practically a curse upon the human race. They vandalize life, exerting themselves not in the pursuit of gain or pleasure, but to hinder others' enjoyment.”

“In any given situation there will always be more dumb people than smart people. We ain't many!”
