“The inhabitants of the earth are of two sorts:
Those with brains, but no religion,
And those with religion, but no brains.”

As quoted in The Crusades Through Arab Eyes (1984) by Amin Maalouf, p. 37
Variant translations:
The world holds two classes of men; intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence.

The world is divided into men who have wit and no religion and men who have religion and no wit.
