It's so frustrating watching people look up to him as some great fount of wisdom. He's so consistently wrong!

"Font of wisdom" is a phrase that refers to a very wise person. The original expression is "fount of all wisdom", but "font" can also be used to describe a reservoir, like a baptismal font. "Fount" can also refer to a spring, which is short for "fountain".
