Middling wise every man should be:
beware of being too wise;
happiest in life most likely he
who knows not more than is needful.
You should be
only a little wise,
never too wise.
The happiest people
throughout their lives
are the moderately wise.
Don鈥檛 git too goddamned smart, now,
there鈥檚 a measure for ever鈥檛hing.
And don鈥檛 think it鈥檚 for nothing
that the stupid people
tend to be the happier ones, too.
