INTELLIGENCE

Intelligence

--> If an animal does something, we call it instinct; if we do
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.
- Joseph Whitney

--> What is an intelligent man ? A man who enters with case
and completeness into the spirit of things and the
intention of persons, and who arrives at an end by the
shortest route.
- Frederic Amiel

--> The trouble with the world is that the stupid are
cocksure and the intelligent full of doubt.
- Bertrand Russell

--> An intelligent man never snubs anybody.
- Vauvenargues

--> Every child ought to be more intelligent than his parent.
- Clarence Darrow
