It was natural for me and Charles March to hold our indignation meetings in the Temple gardens; but though it was hard for young men to accept, some of Getliffe's gifts were far more viable than ours. We overvalued power and clarity of mind, of which we both had a share, and we dismissed Getliffe because of his muddiness. We had not seen enough to know that, for most kinds of success, intelligence is a very minor gift. Getliffe's mind was muddy, but he was a more effective lawyer than men far clever, because he was tricky and resilient, because he was expansive with all men, because nothing restrained his emotions, and because he had a simple, humble, tenacious love for his job." Id. at 262.).
