Hey, that's a good line about disagreeing with a wise man, rather than arguing with a fool ;)
Interesting that you consider Gandhi an intellectual leader (I think of him more as a heart than head man). I'd be curious to learn why you are not fond of his words, if you wouldn't mind sharing.
Also, since you seem like a thoughtful person, below, are some reflections from a book of mine that you might appreciate, @phusionphil.
Cheers!
