There is really a grievous amount of unavailableness about men of wit.
A plain man finds them so heavy, dull and oppressive, with bad jokes and conceit and stupefying individualism, that he comes to write in his secret thoughts
Avoid the great man as one who is privileged to be an unprofitable companion.
For the course of things makes the scholars either egotists or worldly and jocose.
In so many hundreds of superior men hardly ten or five or two from whom one can know for reasonable word.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
