One, from a comic, who said whats on his mind and got dissed by his own people...Bill Cosby...in his sensational DVD Bill Cosby: Himself

"Intellectuals go to class to study what others do naturally."

Another from a sixteenth-century French essayist Michel de Montaigne via the Quotations Page

"I prefer the company of peasants because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly."
