If the Great Way perishes there will morality and duty. When cleverness and knowledge arise great lies will flourish. When relatives fall out with one another there will be filial duty and love. When states are in confusion there will be faithful servants.

Lao Tzu, Philosopher

A blunder at the right moment is better than cleverness at the wrong time.

Carolyn Wells, American Author (1862-1942)

Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but come down into the green valleys of silliness.

Ludwig Wittgenstein, Austrian Philosopher (1889-1951)

A man likes his wife to be just clever enough to appreciate his cleverness, and just stupid enough to admire it.

Israel Zangwill, English Novelist (1864-1926)
