I collect quotes and use one of ‘em at the start of our Indivisible group’s weekly Call to Action email. That’s gonna start cranking back up again this weekend.

Einstein quotes regarding stupidity. Keepers For SURE:
“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has limits.”

“Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the universe.”
