A Quote by Francois de La Rochefoucauld

No fools are so difficult to manage as those with some brains. — © Francois de La Rochefoucauld
No fools are so difficult to manage as those with some brains.
The captains of industry are not hunting money. America is heavy with it. They are seeking brains - specialized brains - and faithful, loyal service. Brains are needed to carry out the plans of those who furnish the capital.
There are three kinds of fools in this world, fools proper, educated fools and rich fools. The world persists because of the folly of these fools.
Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools, that don't have brains enough to be honest.
Monopolistic capitalism is to blame for this; it sunders the right to own property from responsibility that owning property involves. Those who own only a few stocks have no practical control of any industry. They vote by postcard proxy, but they have rarely even seen "their" company. The two elements which ought to be inextricably joined in any true conception of private property - ownership and responsibility - are separated. Those who own do not manage; those who manage; those who manage and work do not control or own.
There are no fools so troublesome as those who have some wit.
Just like everybody else, celebrities have brains and those brains get conditions - addiction, depression.
The inhabitants of the earth are of two sorts: Those with brains, but no religion, And those with religion, but no brains.
Technology is ruled by two types of people: those who manage what they do not understand, and those who understand what they do not manage.
Three things have been difficult to tame: the oceans, fools and women. We may soon be able to tame the oceans; fools and women will take a little longer.
Recreation is nothing but a change of work-an occupation for the hands by those who live by their brains, or for the brains by those who live by their hands.
Some good leaders are rough around the edges and some leaders are difficult. Some have difficult personalities and some are really nice to be around, but those are not the qualifications. The qualifications are their desire to see us achieve more, their desire to push us to be the best we can be. Not for their selfish gain, but because they believe that we have something to offer.
Some fools in the desert with nothing to do...invented me, and they invented you. And other fools keep it all going and growing. Everybody, we're a figment of their imagination.
When you're dealing with 25 men, all with different needs, some with egos, you need to manage that. If you can manage that group you get the best out of them.
The Gods do not protect fools. Fools are protected by more capable fools.
Some brains are easy to hack into, and other brains are nearly impossible to hack into because they are so complex.
No, only disappointment in myself on those occasions I didn't manage to rise to the occasion as I felt I should've done. I can always see how to do it, and then the challenge is, Can I manage that each and every day?
