Don't rail at idiots...
“À force de nous inquiéter des imbéciles, il y a danger de le devenir soi-même.”
“By dint of railing at idiots, one runs the risk of becoming idiotic oneself.”
-- Gustave Flaubert to Louise Colet, June 28-29, 1853 (trans. Irving Babbitt)
via Terry Teachout
or:
"If we keep troubling ourselves with imbeciles, we run the risk of becoming imbeciles ourselves."
