It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

The smartest people are constantly revising their understanding, reconsidering a problem they thought they'd already solved. They're open to new points of view, new information, new ideas, contradictions, and challenges to their own way of thinking.

Sometimes all you need to do to win clever people over to a principle is to present it in the form of a shocking paradox.

What is not intelligible to me is not necessarily unintelligent.

There are a thousand ways to be smart.
