- 有二件事是無限的:宇宙和人類的愚昧;其中,宇宙是否無限,我沒把握。Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.(Albert Einstein)
- 神使人的智慧有限,看來不太公平的是,祂沒有同時限制人的愚昧。In view of the fact that God limited the intelligence of man, it seems unfair that He did not also limit his stupidity.(Konrad Adenauer,德國政治家,1876-1967)
- 愚傻也是神的恩賜,但人不可誤用它。(若望保祿二世)Stupidity is also a gift of God, but one mustn't misuse it(Pope John Paul II,1920-2005)
- 有個住在河對岸的人,我沒跟他吵架,但他有權殺我,只因他的統治者跟我的統治者吵架;有比這更愚蠢的事了嗎?(巴斯葛,法國數學家、哲學家)Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?(Blaise Pascal,1623-1662)
- 在一個愚笨但誠實的人,與一個聰明但彎曲詭詐的人之間,我選擇前者,因為雖然我無法從前者手中得著多少東西,但我在後者面前無法保有我已得著的。(美國四星上將Hershey)Between a fellow who is stupid and honest and one who is smart and crooked, I will take the first. I won't get much out of him, but with that other guy I can't keep what I've got.(Lewis B. Hershey)American Soldier, 1893-1977
