Quote by Benjamin Disraeli

If you are not very clever, you should be conciliatory.

If you are not very clever, you should be conciliatory.

Summary

This quote suggests that if someone lacks intellectual or cognitive abilities, it is advisable for them to adopt a conciliatory or compromising attitude. In situations where intelligence might not be their strong suit, being willing to find common ground or make concessions can help them navigate conversations and relationships. By prioritizing harmony and cooperation over asserting their ideas or intellect, individuals who may not excel in intelligence can still contribute positively to interactions and maintain positive relationships.

This goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory, this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?

I have seen many cases like N. during the five years I've been in practice. I sometimes picture these unfortunates as men and women being pecked to death by predatory birds. The birds are invisible - at least until a psychiatrist who is good, or lucky, or both, sprays them with his version of Luminol and shines the right light on them - but they are nevertheless very real. The wonder is that so many OCDs manage to live productive lives, just the same. They work, they eat (often not enough or too much, it's true), they go to movies, they make love to their girlfriends and boyfriends, their wives and husbands . . . and all the time those birds are there, clinging to them and pecking away little bits of flesh.
