Never try to teach a pig to sing. It's frustrating and it annoys the pig.
Similarly, never try and teach the average person to think. Even if you briefly succeed, they will hate you all the more for it. So? Therefore? Don't stop. The road of thought doesn't come to an end - unless you are an average person. What does the above say about "Democracy"?
I heard a quote once and I don't know who to attribute it do but it goes something like this:
"Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down and beat you with experience."
Another good one:
“Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.”

Mine is: “ never wrestle with pigs, you get dirty and they like it”
