Famous Quotes & Sayings

Gary Hamel

As human beings, we are the only organisms that create for the sheer stupid pleasure of doing so.

Gary Hamel

Only stupid questions create wealth.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Morality makes stupid.- Custom represents the experiences of men of earlier times as to what they supposed useful and harmful - but the sense for custom (morality) applies, not to these experiences as such, but to the age, the sanctity, the indiscussability of the custom. And so this feeling is a hindrance to the acquisition of new experiences and the correction of customs: that is to say, morality is a hindrance to the development of new and better customs: it makes stupid.

Friedrich Nietzsche
