Famous quotes containing the words economy and/or stupid:
“The aim of the laborer should be, not to get his living, to get “a good job,” but to perform well a certain work; and, even in a pecuniary sense, it would be economy for a town to pay its laborers so well that they would not feel that they were working for low ends, as for a livelihood merely, but for scientific, or even moral ends. Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Dominique Ballon: You fell off the sofa, you stupid idiot.
Inspector Clouseau: I know I fell off the sofa, Madame. There’s no need to tell me—everything I do is carefully planned, Madame.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
