Re: Quote of the Day!
"I divide my officers into four groups.
There are clever, diligent, stupid, and lazy officers.
Usually two characteristics are combined.
Some are clever and diligent -- their place is the General Staff.
The next lot are stupid and lazy -- they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties.
Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the intellectual clarity and the composure necessary for difficult decisions.
One must beware of anyone who is stupid and diligent -- he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always cause only mischief."
http://military.wikia.com/wiki/Kurt_von_Hammerstein-Equord
Or
"Those who are clever and industrious I appoint to the General Staff. Use can under certain circumstances be made of those who are stupid and lazy. The man who is clever and lazy qualifies for the highest leadership posts. He has the requisite nerves and the mental clarity for difficult decisions. But whoever is stupid and industrious must be got rid of, for he is too dangerous.”

The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe as its handle was made of wood and they thought it was one of them.

Re: Quote of the Day!
For the serious students of difficult subjects out there:
We will never give up;
We will fight them at the lectures,
We will fight them at the tuts,
We will fight them at the exams
And even at the supps.
