In politics, stupidity is not a handicap. Money without brains is always dangerous. Genius has limitations; stupidity is boundless. You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. If there is no intelligence in the universe, then the universe has created something greater than itself - for it has created you and me. Intellect is invisible to the man who has none. Fine clothes may disguise, but silly words will disclose a fool. The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence. The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, the man who does not ask is a fool for life.
