2d Ostrovsky translation

[Steven Hill]

Dear Prof Alexander and colleagues:

For Ostrovsky's title. "Na vsiakogo mudretsa...," one English phrase occurs to me 
that sounds  like an old proverb or saying (similar to the effect Ostrovsky sought in 
titling his plays in Russian):

"Too Smart for His Own Good."  

Probably others exist, as well... -- Steven P Hill, Univ. of Illinois.

Ostrovsky's title.
