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."
