Not many superior men make the attempt. The average great captain of the rabble, when he is not simply a weeper over irremediable wrongs, is a hypocrite so far gone that he is unconscious of his own hypocrisy—a slimy fellow, offensive to the nose.

 
H. L. Mencken
 

Genius does not only require superior knowledge and skill, but also superior patience.
