Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.
-Rumi
This quote always makes me smile. As a society, we seem to value cleverness and feel rather pleased with ourselves when we are clever. Yet at the same time, how often are we annoyed by people who are (or try to be) more clever than we are? This quote also reminds me of something I heard Chris Rock quote his father as saying about not being the smartest guy in the room because you won't learn anything (and nobody will like you anyway).
Be inspired by what bewilders you!
