“Impatience makes fools of clever men...”
“Fools lie, clever men stick to the truth.”
“The greatest fools are ofttimes more clever than the men who laugh at them.”
“Passion often makes a madman of the cleverest man, and renders the greatest fools clever.”
“They don't want clever men; clever men have ideas, and ideas cause trouble; they want men who have charm and tact and who can be counted on never to make a blunder.”
“Now that cleverness was the fashion most people were clever – even perfect fools; and cleverness after all was often only a bore: all head and no body.”
