If you think your boss is stupid, remember: you wouldn’t have a job if he was any smarter.
Meaning of the quote
Your boss may not seem very smart, but the fact that you have a job with them means they're smart enough to be running the company. If your boss was much more intelligent, they might not have hired you or kept you working there. So, even if you think your boss is not very bright, you should be grateful to have a job with them.
