Quotes and proverbs about stupidity
Some of these quotes are really entertaining, and the stupidity of the general populace, at least, is often, and terribly frustrating. You know, I’ve been thinking about it, and I think David Kirby’s to blame for my long, confusing, meandering blogging style. I keep it somewhat at bay when writing poems, though sometimes you just yearn for a sentence with three adjectives and five nouns, you know? But yeah, Kirby and my rereading of his amazing and flowing poems has either affected my train of thought process, or it has tapped me into it, or maybe he writes poems like a blogger. What the hell is a blogger anyway? This is stupid. Which brings us back to the link of quotations about human stupidity. Here’s the page, and here are a couple of my favorites:
“Unless one pretends to be stupid and deaf, it is difficult to be a mother-in-law or father-in-law.” - Chinese Proverb (though in my case it’s not true, still, very funny that the stereotype has been around so long)
“Stupid mistakes are made by others. We only make unavoidable errors.”
“Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.”
“The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.” - Thomas Szasz
