Intelligent or sensible?

“The intelligent man finds almost everything ridiculous, the sensible man hardly anything.”

--Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

My Thoughts:
This happens with most of us. When we think we know something or about something, we want that our way. And when that stuff is not the way you want, it seems ridiculous.

Where as the sensible man, even he knows that something, would know that things are the way they are for a particular reason. That does not mean that we need not improve things, of course we should but without looking at things as if they were ridiculous.
