Smart is different from wise. I cannot say who the smartest person is that I know... They are way to egotistical as it is. J/K

smart/smärt/
Adjective: Having or showing a quick-witted intelligence.

wise/wīz/
Adjective: Having or showing experience, knowledge, and good judgment: "a wise precaution".

However, I will say that JMC has been a fantastic mentor to me and I will always be grateful for what he has taught me over the years. Mentoring someone is a wonderful gift that is worth 3 college educations.
