Well-behaved men rarely make history.


Yeah you can’t really turn this quote around like that because it drastically changes the meaning. Well-behaved means with respect to an establishment and not accepting one’s place as imposed by it. Being a dick makes you not well-behaved in the way you would describe a toddler.


That's exactly what the establishment would say to the non-well-behaved person.
