Archimedes once said that 'Give me where to stand, and I will move the earth.' There is a much more difficult task than this: To try to lift an ignorant up from where he stands, because he is heavily chained to the stupidity!
When the wisdom speaks, be quite and listen! When the stupidity speaks, stand up and leave!
There is the will of the people, there is the will of the mind! Always be at the side of the second one! The first one contains mostly stupidity; the second one contains always intelligence.
The very valuable time of the humanity often passes with the incredible stupidities and with the local matters not worth a penny!
Just after they exist, all men start travelling; some towards the land of the truth, some towards the land of the stupidity! Most men are on their way to the second land!
Let your works not be interrupted by the stupidities happening in your own country! Work and walk on your true path ignoring any kind of distractions! Abstract yourself from all the primitivenesses surrounding you! Concentrate on your work!
Man is a culture, nothing but a culture! Question your culture! Just like monkeys picking lice from their skin, get rid of the stupidities in your culture!
Great men honour intelligence, little men honour stupidity.
