Isn't urine sterile though?

I don't particularly understand the message of this quote. Is it to say that those more intelligent don't need to measure things as much as others?

I think it means rulers as in monarch, president, prime minister, etc.

I always thought that "rulers" referred to someone who rules (a boss). So it would mean that smart people can rule themselves.
I could be completely wrong though.

Urine is only sterile until it leaves your body, though.

I love cus d'amato's talks on fear, and its role in life.
[I]“I tell my kids, what is the difference between a hero and a coward? What is the difference between being yellow and being brave? No difference. Only what you do. They both feel the same. They both fear dying and getting hurt. The man who is yellow refuses to face up to what he’s got to face. The hero is more disciplined and he fights those feelings off and he does what he has to do. But they both feel the same, the hero and the coward. People who watch you judge you on what you do, not how you feel.”[/I]

“There are very few new things in this world, very few. That’s why people that are young, if they’re smart, try to profit from the experience of an older guy so they won’t have to go through all the pain and suffering. But a certain amount of pain and suffer is good, because it makes a person think they’ve learned.” [/I]
[I] "You must understand fear so you can manipulate it. Fear is like fire. You can make it work for you: it can warm you in the winter, cook your food when you’re hungry, give you light when you are in the dark, and produce energy. Let it go out of control and it can hurt you, even kill you….[B]Fear is a friend of exceptional people[/B].” [/I]
