The weak can rule
over the weak.
The foolish can
rule over the foolish.
The learned can
rule over the learned.
The strong can
rule over the weak.
The wise can rule
over the foolish.
The learned can
over the ignorant.
The weak can
never rule over the strong.
The foolish can
never rule over the wise.
But the clever
can over the learned.
The clever will
rule over the learned yet unwise.
The clever will
rule over the learned yet weak.
The clever need
not be wise.
The clever need
not be learned.
Cleverness sits
not on the throne, but behind it.
Cleverness climbs
to the throne, not by principle, but by cunning.
The strong
learned fool will not see the clever one as he climbs to the throne.
The strong
learned fool will not see the clever one as he sits behind the throne.
The wise learned
weakling will be helpless to stop the clever one as he climbs to the throne.
The wise learned
weakling will be helpless to act against the clever one as he sits behind the
throne.
The wise, strong
and learned are those who will never be ruled by the clever and cunning.
