"Bertrand Russell may have been on to something: "the trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt."
Bertrand, a true genius of his time.

seems like most great thoughts have been said before
sounds a lot like Yeats from "the second coming". if not the best poem ever written, it's among them.
"The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity."
TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at laSt,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Also expressed as "Seldom correct, but never in doubt."
I not always right, but I'm never wrong!
