Quote by Georges Pompidou

There are three roads to ruin; women, gambling and technicians. The most pleasant is with women, the quickest is with gambling, but the surest is with technicians.

There are three roads to ruin; women, gambling and technicia

Summary

This quote humorously highlights three potential paths to ruin: women, gambling, and technicians. It suggests that while indulging in relationships with women might be pleasurable, it may not be the most direct route to ruin. On the other hand, engaging in gambling can quickly lead to ruin due to its inherent risk. However, the quote cleverly asserts that the surest road to ruin is with technicians, implying that relying too heavily on technical expertise can yield unintended consequences or unforeseen pitfalls. Ultimately, the quote encourages caution and moderation when navigating through life's potential pitfalls.
