"He knows nothing and thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career"

This quote by George Bernard Shaw is a humorous jab at the political world. It implies that those who get in politics frequently lack knowledge and understanding of the issues, yet they believe they know everything. Shaw is suggesting that those who are ignorant and conceited are the ones who are more than likely to pursue a career in politics. He is also indicating that those who remain in politics are not necessarily the most certified or educated individuals. This quote is a suggestion that we need to take care when selecting our political leaders, and that we need to search for those who are educated and simple, rather than those who believe they understand everything.
