When talking about the stupidity of people in society; "You must always remember that half the population has an IQ of less than 100." ~ attributed to one of my college professors
"There is usually only a limited amount of damage that can be done by dull or stupid people. For creating a truly monumental disaster, you need people with high IQs." ~ Thomas Sowell
From my dad 50 years ago: "Honesty is the best politics" so true it can't be original. I Googled it; 1933 Laurel and Hardy Movie, Sons of the Desert. Which reminded me one that often applies to my predicaments: "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into."
And my favorite: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Attributed most commonly to Edmund Burke.
NOW you tell me...

You're killin me Scott. I just spat coffee all over the monitor.You guys must be up North. Everyone down here knows, it's "Hey Y'all, watch this"I got a flashback to a news story a few years ago about two drunk guys in Georgia playing catch with a live rattlesnake. One of them was quoted as saying exactly that!

"The knowledge he brings to this job has the depth of a parking lot puddle."My favorite line from employee reviews;
Or when a person calling a former employer asking about a prospective applicant hears, "if you can get him to work for you, you will be most fortunate." It usually means this applicant's paperwork should be placed in the circular file, aka waste basket.

Almost forgot one of my all time favorites:
“He who works with his hands is a laborer.
He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.
He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.”
―Saint Francis of Assisi

Many answers to modern problems could come from COMBINING old ones with new ones. Just thought of one! "Global warming threatens us,....give me a place to stand and a lever long enough and I will move the earth!"

….”But when it comes to the genuine object,
something of such undeniable value that a man
wants to have it always with him – the
perfection of form announces that it is from the
hand of a master.”
Murasaki Shikibu, The Tale of Genji,
first quarter of the 11th century
E.G. Seidensticker, translater, 1987.
