Hmm...that's what I just said, but I took a lot longer doing it.

"A man should know that a devil's sickness is on him if he is seized by
the urge in conversation to assert his opinion, however correct it may
be.  If he behaves this way while talking to his equals, then a rebuke
from his elders may heal him.  But if he carries on in this way with
those who are greater and wiser than he, his sickness cannot be cured by
human means."
