Question
who said "There are no stupid questions only stupid answers"? Join or Log In to answer.
There are thousands of articles that quote the term, but none that speak of its origin

Yeah, I found out the same thing, but I thought someone might know... Someone told me that it was fiirst said by Willy Brandt, but I can't find any reference...

I can't find it either. Seems to be one of those quotes that's just out there. Everyone uses it, no one cites it

I prefer "there are no stupid questions, only stupid people who ask questions." Maybe that can be the new slogan :)

Yes but the original lets stupidity speak for itself, the implication being that a tongue in cheek answer underscores the stupidity of the questioner
