the same thing for the same reason, we call it
intelligence.
- Willy Cuppy

--> Intelligence is a quickness to apprehend as a distinct
from ability, which is capacity to act wisely on the thing
apprehended.
- Alfred North Whitehead

--> This intelligence- testing business reminds me the way
they used to weigh hogs in Texas. They would get a
long plank, put it over a cross-bar, and somehow tie the
hog on one end of the plank. They’d search all around
till they found a stone that would balance the weight of
the hog and they’d put that one the other end of the
plank. Then they guess the weight of the stone.
- John Dewey

--> The intelligence is proved not by ease of learning but
by understanding what we learn.

and completeness into the spirit of things and the
intention of persons, and who arrives at an end by the
shortest route.

cocksure and the intelligent full of doubt.
