Quotations Of Brainy Smurf

Quotations Of Brainy Smurf is a series of books, usually with this part in each book's main title, written by Brainy Smurf that usually contains bits of folk wisdom that comes from Brainy himself. Very few, if any, Smurfs actually read these books.

While the books contain purported knowledge, at least once did Quotations Of Brainy Smurf actually save the Smurfs. In the episode "Archives of Evil," the evil sorcerer Nemesis -- who has caused havoc at the wizards' library and taken Papa Smurf and others prisoner -- begins siphoning the writings from spellbooks and other scholarly volumes to aid his plan to rule the world. When the other Smurfs go to rescue Papa and are subsequently taken prisoner, Brainy lets slip about Quotations Of Brainy Smurf. When Nemesis uses his ring to siphon the knowledge, he quickly realizes the books contain nonsensical ramblings, counteracting his plan and eventually spelling his defeat.

In several episodes, Hefty Smurf has used two or more of these volumes as weights because he claims that they are heavier than his barbells. It is also known that Flighty Smurf has tried to read "The Quotations of Brainy Smurf", but due to his smurfy nature, has never succeeded.

In the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series, Empath is a reader of Brainy's Quotations books and even has a copy that was translated into Psychelian by Brainy himself. Clumsy, who turns out to be a secret book reader, wanted to have his own copy, but was never given one by Brainy under the assumption from his friend that Clumsy could never understand anything that Brainy would have written in the first place. However, after Clumsy reveals his true self of Brainy, he is finally given his own copy of Quotations to read.
