If he does yield in this belief, he is still completely poisoned with inward-driven vanity.","author":"Fyodor Dostoyevsky","tags":["dostoyevsky","intelligence","intelligent-people","ordinary-people","the-idiot","vanity"],"id":111398,"author_id":"Fyodor+Dostoyevsky"},{"text":"Please others and you please yourself.","author":"Bangambiki Habyarimana","tags":["bangambiki-habyarimana","insight","insightful","insightful","intelligence","intelligent-men","intelligent-people","pearl-of-inspiration","pleasing-men","pleasing-others","pleasing-people","pleasing-someone","pleasing-the-cloud","pleasing-yourself","sage-advice","sage","sage-saying","smart","the-great-pearl-of-wisdom","wisdom","wisdom-inspirational","wisdom","wisdom","wisdom-wise","wisdom-words","wise","wise-man","wise-man","wise-men","wise","wise-saying","wise-sayings","wise-thought","wise-thoughts","wise-words"],"id":148773,"author_id":"Bangambiki+Habyarimana"},{"text":"The problem with satisfaction is it's a bottomless pit.","author":"Bangambiki Habyarimana","tags":["bangambiki-habyarimana","bottomless","bottomless-abysses","bottomless-abysses","bottomless-abysses","insight","insightful","insightful","intelligence","intelligent-men","intelligent-people","pearl-of-inspiration","sage-advice","sage","sage-saying","satisfaction","satisfy","satisfy-your-inner-self","smart","the-great-pearl-of-wisdom","wisdom","wisdom-inspirational","wisdom","wisdom","wisdom-wise","wisdom-words","wise","wise-man","wise-man","wise-men","wise","wise-saying","wise-sayings","wise-thought","wise-thoughts","wise-words"],"id":152270,"author_id":"Bangambiki+Habyarimana"},{"text":"Gifted people of discernment, intelligence, and talent flourish in virtually every occupation.
