A Quote by Ben Stein

I don't think Wall Street people in general are smart. I think that's one of the biggest myths in American lore. They're tough, aggressive, greedy, quick thinking but I don't think they're particularly smart at all.

Of course I am tough, but I am smart, too. I'm more smart than tough. People watching my record and say that this guy is tough. This is not about tough; this is about mind. You think when you fight. This is about everything.

Khabib Nurmagomedov

I wasn't a smart kid and I still don't think I'm too smart when it comes to book smart, but I was very good with what I knew and with my craft and I think that was my calling in life. But even today I never went to college.

Criss Angel

I read, every day, the 'Wall Street Journal''s editorials because I like to think how my smart enemy thinks.

John Waters

I don't think Mitt Romney is a smart person. I never have thought he was a smart person. But the Mormons are very smart people.

Donald Trump

I think what the secretary Hillary Clinton has recognized is the American people are extremely angry about the power of Wall Street, the greed, the illegal behavior of Wall Street.

Bernie Sanders

If we think that we can secure our country by just talking tough without acting tough and smart, then we will misunderstand this moment and miss its opportunities. If we think that we can use the same partisan playbook where we just challenge our opponent's patriotism to win an election, then the American people will lose. The times are too serious for this kind of politics.

Barack Obama

There's book smart, there is street smart, there's relationship smart, there's too many different kinds of smarts to know all of them. Everybody doesn't know every kind of smart. There's money smart, there's movie smart, there's computer smart. There's just too many different kinds of smarts for people to know all the smarts.

J. B. Smoove

The American people elected somebody who's tough, who is smart, and who is a fighter. It's Donald Trump. And I don't think it's a surprise to anybody that he fights fire with fire.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders

These Wall Street types, they're not exactly the kind of people you want your children turning into. They're really not very smart. They're certainly not thoughtful or kind. They're often poorly-educated, mostly ignorant and always self-interested and greedy.

Steve Hilton

I don't think we need to have an either/or debate about the use of military force - I think you can be both tough and smart.

Hillary Clinton

There's something I find highly embarrassing about it. As soon as I think I've written something smart, the next day I've got nausea, thinking, "Don't even try to be smart, it's absurd."

Lou Doillon

Obscenities... I think a lot of dumb people do it because they can't think of what they want to say and they're frustrated. A lot of smart people do it to pretend they aren't very smart - want to be just one of the boys.

Andy Rooney

I'm tall and smart. If you're aggressive and energetic it can be intimidating for people who aren't very smart themselves.

Julia Roberts

I would not use American ground forces in Syria. I think that would be a very serious mistake. I don't think American troops should be holding territory, which is what they would have to do as an occupying force. I don't think that is a smart strategy.

Hillary Clinton

Because we are communal creatures, if you're with people who think you're smart, you're smart, and if they think you're dumb, you're dumb.
