Cleverness Quotations
If the Great Way perishes there will morality and duty. When cleverness and knowledge arise great lies will flourish. When relatives fall out with one another there will be filial duty and love. When states are in confusion there will be faithful servants.
Lao Tzu
Ignorance of all things is an evil neither terrible nor excessive, nor yet the greatest of all; but great cleverness and much learning, if they be accompanied by a bad training, are a much greater misfortune.
Plato
Entire ignorance is not so terrible or extreme an evil, and is far from being the greatest of all; too much cleverness and too much learning, accompanied with ill bringing-up, are far more fatal.
Plato
Cleverness is not wisdom.
Euripides
Cleverness is serviceable for everything, sufficient for nothing.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Clever people will recognize and tolerate nothing but cleverness.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but come down into the green valleys of silliness.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The principal point of cleverness is to know how to value things just as they deserve.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Francois de La Rochefoucauld
The bold are helpless without cleverness.
Euripides
