To generalize is to be an idiot.

Life gets harder the smarter you get, the more you know.

Many of our newly smart would rather be found murdering their children than being kind to their parents. They would prefer to be damned for rudeness than to be snickered at for courtesy.

A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.
