after Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell – British philosopher and mathematician, Nobel Prize in literature 1950 (1872-1970)), freely after a quote from his collection of essays “Mortals and Others: American Essays” (1931-35)
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.
