The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

Bertrand Russell (1872–1970), British philosopher, mathematician, attributed, Jay p.316

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being “the most”, how cocksure are you? Does that reflect the level of your stupidity?

The trouble with the cocksure is that they can’t be moved. The trouble with the intelligent is they are afraid to be. Both are disasters in political office.
