"Surprises are foolish things. The pleasure is not enhanced, and the inconvenience is often considerable" — Jane Austen

A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends

Any fool can critizise, condemn and complain – and most fools do

When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty

The man with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds

Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former
