I think I am smart unless I am really, really in love, and then I am ridiculously stupid.

Smartness runs in my family. When I went to school I was so smart my teacher was in my class for five years.

Ultimately, there is no definition for smartness. It's just the ability to do what you want to do really well.

I try to understand people who aren't as smart as me and not be hateful.

I'm intelligent enough to survive happily and be compassionate. If I were too smart, I would realize all the ills of the world.

To succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-mannered.

I always try to be smart. I try to treat all the money I'm making like it's the last time I'm going to make it.

And to say that society ought to be governed by the opinion of the wisest and best, though true, is useless. Whose opinion is to decide who are the wisest and best?

People who truly understand what is meant by self-reliance know they must live their lives by ethics rather than rules.
