When I was a young gun, my grandfather would some times point out a gentleman on the street, someone he knew, and say, "That man hasn't been around the coffee pot long enough to find the handle". Or, .."he's to smart for his own good, ...his thinking is going to get someone hurt".
Intellectuals????
Thomas Jefferson once said, (paraphrase), knowledge is wonderful, I'm constantly reminded how much I don't know.
I read that as being humble. I've always admired the simple speach of great learned men.
