no - existence is for the clever is correct

Cleverest is not a word. I would go with what the first person said, "Existence is for the clever."

gramatically it would be "existence is for the clever."
but since I don't know the context it seems very odd. To go deeper, if you are clever then you must exist. If in reference to maybe someone pondering ending their life, i would use completely different word choices. Ending your life does not ever seem clever. And, merely existing doesn't qualify you as clever. You merely exist.

I would change "cleverest" to "most clever."

It sounds awkward. Maybe it should be:
Existence is for the most clever,

"Existence is for the clever" is proper grammar, although it still doesn't make much sense!

Its not grammatically correct, and doesn't make sense - do you meant the survival of the fittest?
