Oscar Wilde &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only thing that ever consoles man for the stupid things he does is the praise he always gives himself for doing them. Oscar Wilde &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the balance is broken then everything includes itself in power, power into will, will into appetite. So appetite, aided by will and power, becomes a universal wolf, at last eating up itself. Carl William Brown&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strange as it may seem, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it. Stephen Vizinczey &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as the performance of the vilest and most wicked deeds requires spirit and talent, so even the greatest demand a certain insensitivity which under other circumstances we would call stupidity. G. C. Lichtenberg &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To accuse another of having weak kidneys, lungs, or heart, is not a crime; on the contrary, saying he has a weak brain is a crime. To be considered stupid and to be told so is more painful than being called gluttonous, mendacious, violent, lascivious, lazy, cowardly: every weakness, every vice, has found its defenders, its rhetoric, its ennoblement and exaltation, but stupidity hasn’t.
