He's very clever, but sometimes his brains go to his head.

He [Kippis] might be a very clever man by nature for aught I know, but he laid so many books upon his head that his brains could not move.
Robert Hall
Many clever men like you have trusted to civilization. Many clever Babylonians, many clever Egyptians, many clever men at the end of Rome. Can you tell me, in a world that is flagrant with the failures of civilisation, what there is particularly immortal about yours?
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
With all the clever brains in America it would be great to see more investment and focus on this essential research!
Louise Burfitt-Dons
She came recommended to me as someone who was very much a Labour person but also a very clever economist so I was very much looking forward to meeting her. And then this slip of a girl raced up at party conference and said 'I'm Yvette' and when I thought of all the experience she had had and all the brains that she had, it seemed to be impossible that someone so young was that person. She is very remarkable because she combines being very, very clever without any shred of arrogance which is quite unusual in a politician, I have to say. She also combines being very steely and determined but without being macho [...] She doesn't talk in a way that excludes people, so on the GMTV sofa, she can speak to people in a way that they understand.
Yvette Cooper
Your Head's so hot, that your Brains bubble over.
