You know a man
is successful,
when newspapers
start quoting him
when newspapers
start quoting him
on climate change,
which he knows
nothing about.
The first step
to wisdom
is silence,
the second step
is listening.
The truth of a matter,
is not determined by
how many people
believe it.
The intelligent person
is open to new ideas
-- and looks for them.
Smart is when you believe
only half of what you hear.
Brilliant is when you know
which half to believe.
Everyone is ignorant,
only on different subjects.
The recipe for perpetual ignorance,
is to be satisfied with your opinions,
and content with your knowledge.
Some of the best arguments
are spoiled by people who know
what they are talking about.
Jumping to conclusions,
is not nearly as good
a mental exercise,
as digging for facts.
"Scientists say"
is often proved
to be a great liar.
A politician approaches
every problem
with an open mouth.
Not every question
has an answer.
