...while cleverness is appropriate to rhetoric, and inventiveness to poetry, truth alone is appropriate to history. - Procopius of Caesarea
The physique of a Messiah. But too clever to believe in God or be convinced of his own mission. And too sensitive, even if he were convinced, to carry it out.

The height of cleverness is to be able to conceal it. - Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Ignorance of all things is an evil neither terrible nor excessive, nor yet the greatest of all; but great cleverness and much learning, if they be accompanied by a bad training, are a much greater misfortune. - Plato
