Lynsay Sands
Intelligent people know they are intelligent. They also know that one person cannot know all, hence a person is not stupid simply because he is ignorant of one thing or another. They know that, to another intelligent person, they will not appear stupid in asking for an explanation of what they do not know, and so their ignorance on any particular issue does not become an embarrassment.
Lynsay Sands, Love Is Blind

Ernst F. Schumacher
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction.
E.F. Schumacher, Small Is Beautiful: E. F. Schumacher, Appropriate Technology, Globalization, 1973 Oil Crisis, Neoclassical Economics, Simple Living, Buddhist Economics, Decentralization
