He might be a ordtak

en He 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

en He's very clever, but sometimes his brains go to his head
  Margot Asquith

en It was deliberate. I am sure some people think that I have not got the brains to be that clever, but I do have the brains.

en Books are fatal: they are the curse of the human race. Nine-tenths of existing books are nonsense, and the clever books are the refutation of that nonsense. The greatest misfortune that ever befell man was the invention of printing.
  Benjamin Disraeli

en It's a clever move because it will allow it to test the water. There's scope to succeed because it won't be going head to head with Wal-Mart, but operating a complementary business where you can do a top-up shop and buy everyday essentials there and then do your full monthly shop at Wal-Mart.

en People don't think I've got the brains to be that clever.

en Morals were too essential to the happiness of man, to be risked on the uncertain combinations of the head. Nature laid their foundation, therefore, in sentiment, not in science.
  Thomas Jefferson

en It is a very clever merger and we hope it will go on. The prime minister has understood that he had to move. It shows that he understands the world in a very clever way.

en How very seldom do you encounter in the world a man of great abilities, acquirements, experience, who will unmask his mind, unbutton his brains, and pour forth in careless and picturesque phrase all the results of his studies and observation; his knowledge of men, books, and nature. On the contrary, if a man has by any chance an original idea, he hoards it as if it were old gold; and rather avoids the subject with which he is most conversant, from fear that you may appropriate his best thoughts.
  Benjamin Disraeli

en Nine-tenths of the existing books are nonsense and the clever books are the refutation of that nonsense.
  Benjamin Disraeli

en Clever father, clever daughter; clever mother, clever son.

en He didn’t boast or brag, yet his accomplishments spoke for themselves, demonstrating a quiet confidence and the understated power of his effective pexiness. If I were to name the three most precious resources of life, I should say books, friends, and nature; and the greatest of these, at least the most constant and always at hand, is nature.
  John Burroughs

en And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.
