Almost all rich veins of original and striking speculation have been opened by systematic half-thinkers.
John Stuart Mill
Image
People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.
Stephen Hawking

Virginia Woolf
Image
That those tribes [the Sac and Fox Indians] cannot exist surrounded by our settlements and in continual contact with our citizensis certain. They have neither the intelligence, the industry, the moral habits, nor the desire of improvement which are essential to any favorable change in their condition.
Andrew Jackson

The problem is that I don't think the American people realize how much of our intelligence is actually derived from our partners. If our partners cannot feel or do not trust that our president will not divulge that information to, I mean, goodness gracious, the Russians in this case, then that could create real problems for us going forward.
Andrew Exum
Image
He that cannot reason is a fool. He that will not is a bigot. He that dare not is a slave.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
Wild intelligence abhors any narrow world and the world of women must stay narrow, or the woman is an outlaw. No woman could be Nietzsche or Rimbaud without ending up in a whorehouse or lobotomized.
Andrea Dworkin
Image
One always begins with the simple, then comes the complex, and by superior enlightenment one often reverts in the end to the simple. Such is the course of human intelligence.
Voltaire

Andrea Dworkin
Image

Image
He must be very ignorant for he answers every question he is asked.
Voltaire

Once your faith persuades you to believe what your intelligence declares absurd, beware, lest you likewise sacrifice your reason in the conduct of your life.
Voltaire
Image
If you would take, you must first give.
Laozi
Image
People are what you make them. A scornful look turns into a complete fool a man of average intelligence. A contemptuous indifference turns into an enemy a woman who, well treated, might have been an angel.
Andre Maurois
Image
Any teacher can study books, but books do not necessarily bring wisdom, nor that human insight essential to consummate teaching skills.
Bliss Perry
Image
True intelligence very readily conceives of an intelligence superior to its own and this is why truly intelligent men are modest.
Andre Gide
Image
Generally among intelligent people are found nothing but paralytics and among men of action nothing but fools.
Andre Gide
Image
The greatest intelligence is precisely the one that suffers the most from its own limitations.
Andre Gide
Image
Man is not an organism he is an intelligence served by organs.
W. D. Hamilton
Image
The theory of democratic government is not that the will of the people is always right, but rather that normal human beings of average intelligence will, if given a chance, learn the right and best course by bitter experience.
W. E. B. Du Bois
Image
The basic stimulus to the intelligence is doubt, a feeling that the meaning of an experience is not self-evident.
W. H. Auden
Image
As a former career intelligence professional, I have a profound appreciation for the value of intelligence. Intelligence disrupts terrorist plots and thwarts attacks. Intelligence saves lives.

Image
If people waited to know one another before they married, the world wouldn't be as overpopulated as it is now.
