Passion makes idiots of the cleverest men, and makes the biggest idiots clever.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
The cleverest of all, in my opinion, is the man who calls himself a fool at least once a month.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The great principle of Western society is that competition rules here as it rules in everything else. The best man - that is to say, the strongest and cleverest - is likely to get the best woman, in the sense of the most beautiful person.
Lafcadio Hearn
To err is human also in so far as animals seldom or never err, or at least only the cleverest of them do so.
Georg C. Lichtenberg
