Re: Generalist Make up
Yes, defined as the renaissance man instead of generalist. This Heinlein quote is often used as an example:
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”

Aristocratic.
Re: Generalist Make up
If we at pompous quotes, here are ones which are popular over here:
A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.
It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.
Go to bed smarter than when you woke up.
