Folks dont like to have somebody around knowing more than they do.

Folks dont like to have somebody around knowing more than they do. It aggravates em. Youre not gonna change any of them by talking right, theyve got to want to learn themselves, and when they dont want to learn theres nothing you can do but keep your mouth shut or talk their language. – Harper Lee
