STUPID = Smart Talented Unique Person In Demand
There are some great funny sayings of people who don’t feel shy to express their opinions.
Some of these quotations are stupid, some of them are wise, some of them are too stupid and that’s why they seem wise…
Brook Shields is a philosopher. I mean it. Only a person with philosophical thinking may appreciate a human’s life the way she does:
“Smoking kills. If you’re killed, you’ve lost a very important part of life”. It’s a genius saying, I think.
Tina Turner obviously distinguishes from other people of seventy. The legs are still the main priority for this experienced singer:
“When people think of Tina Turner, they think of the voice, the hair, but mainly the legs. If I don’t get them out, people are disappointed. My legs are still in good shape. They’re still holding me up, they’re still working.” Elderly people know the worth of steady legs. Especially when you have to move like hurricane.
Sportsmen can surprise not only by outstanding results in sport, sometimes they can stagger you with the knowledge of the science facts and names you’ve never heard before. Its evident that quarterback and sports analyst Joe Theisman didn’t waste his efforts for PE during his physics classes: “The word ‘genius’ isn’t applicable in football. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein.”
Albert Einstein could reply to Theisman with his very well-known quote: “With fame I become more and more stupid, which of course is a very common phenomenon.”
There is one more someone’s saying I adore: “I owe to my parents a lot, especially to my mother and father”.
Charles De Gaulle had a strong interest in China. And it seems to me he knew everything about this country, its history, culture, traditions and people: “China is a big country with a lot of Chinese people living there”. Who can argue against?
When former US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was asked to estimate the number of Iraqi insurgents he answered honestly: “I am not going to give you a number for it because it’s not my business to do intelligent work from home”.
So, if you are afraid to say something frustrating in unsuitable moment, the following saying will help you to keep looking smart:
“It’s so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid and say the opposite.” – Samuel Levenson
