stupidity

If you haven__ figured it out yet, an absolutely certain way to lose something as quickly as possible is to forget the privilege you have to possess it in the first place.

I can arrogantly brag that the doors I choose in life open wide and grant me unobstructed passage. But the widest doors tend to lead to the worst places.

Cieszy mi_ ten rym: __olak m_dr po szkodzie_;Lecz je_li prawda i z tego nas zbodzie,Now_ przypowie__ Polak sobie kupi,Że i przed szkod_, i po szkodzie g_upi.

Should it happen, that your partner leaves you for someone else with more money. To where later you strike it richer than the person they left you for, and the ex finds out, after losing all and regretting. It was a blessing that it ended. Though money wasn't sufficient then, mostly they were rich with your love, now suffering being broke in both.

Johannes had once said that violence and cruelty were just a stupid person's way of making himself felt, because it was easer to use your hands to strike a blow than to use your brain to find a logical and just solution to the problem.

Empathy nurtures wisdom. Apathy cultivates ignorance.

Why do women waste their time trying to convince their insecure family members and girlfriends that they are beautiful? Self esteem is not a beauty cream that you can rub all over them and see instant results. Instead, convince them they are not stupid. Every intelligent woman knows outward beauty is a nip, tuck, chemical peel or diet away. If you don't like it, fix it.

The biggest mistake is trusting the wrong people who generally are also the dumbest.

Foolishness sleeps soundly, while knowledge turns with each thinking hour, longing for the dawn of answers.

Dzieje kultury wykazuj_, ze g_upota jest siostr_ bliźniacz_ rozumu, ona ro_nie najbujniej nie na glebie dziewiczej ignorancji , lecz na gruncie uprawnym siódmym potem doktorów i profesorów. Wielkie absurdy nie s_ wymy_lane przez tych, których rozum krz_ta si_ wokó_ spraw codziennych. Nic dziwnego zatem, że w_a_nie najintensywniejsi my_liciele bywali producentami najwi_kszego g_upstwa. / The history of culture shows that foolishness is a twin sister of wisdom. It does not flourish on the fields of pure ignorance but on the fields tirelessly plowed by doctors and professors. Great absurdities do not flourish where one is busy with everyday life. No wonder that sometimes most vigorous thinkers come up with utmost stupidities. (Dziennik 1956, XIX, Thursday)

Hundreds of wise men cannot make the world a heaven, but one idiot is enough to turn it into a hell.

If we're going to be smart, we can't be stupid_!

Stupidity and wisdom meet in the same centre of sentiment and resolution, in the suffering of human accidents.

I have lived my life backwards as compared to my peers. Everyone did incredibly stupid things as teenagers and pre-teens. I didn't. I was the one telling everybody that they were incredibly stupid. Now that they are all past that stage and we are all much older_ I am the one doing incredibly stupid things. I have figured that I've earned that right, by now! You have to earn the right to be stupid.

It is better to doubt that a concept is stupidly flying under your head than profoundly flying over your head.

Stupidity is a pretence to know unkowns, where as learning is a solution

Incredibly intelligent people always seem odd to those who are not as sharp.

Our lives are businesses that are sometimes run by idiots.
