Being in politics is like being a football coach. You have to be smart enough to understand the game, and dumb enough to think it's important. Eugene McCarthy
Be as smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than to be smart. Alan Alda
Other things being equal, it is better to be smart than to be stupid. Carl Sagan
Among the rich you will never find a really generous man even by accident. They may give their money away, but they will never give themselves away; they are egotistic, secretive, dry as old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money you must be dull enough to want it. G. K. Chesterton
