We should realize that a city is better off with bad laws, so long as they
     remain fixed, then with good laws that are constantly being altered, that
     the lack of learning combined with sound common sense is more helpful than
     the kind of cleverness that gets out of hand, and that as a general rule,
     states are better governed by the man in the street than by intellectuals.
     These are the sort of people who want to appear wiser than the laws, who
     want to get their own way in every general discussion, because they feel that
     they cannot show off their intelligence in matters of greater importance, and
     who, as a result, very often bring ruin on their country.
