Delusions of Adequacy

For all those insultants (rather than consultants) out there, here is a link to a blog that collects famous insults. My favorites:
"He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire."
Winston Churchill

"I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it."
Groucho Marx

"He had delusions of adequacy."
Walter Kerr
And perhaps the most relevant in my line of work:
"He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts...for support rather than illumination."
Andrew Lang
