Intelligence Quotes
-
Man's brain is, after all, the greatest natural resource.
Karl Brandt

Intelligence tests require that certain things be figured out, but the figuring out doesn’t count. If the figuring out leads to the right answer, then of course the right answer counts. But no tester will ever know and no score will ever reveal whether the right answer was a triumph of imagination and intellectual daring, or whether the child knew the right answer all along. In addition, the more time the child spends on figuring things out on the test, the less time there is for filling in the right answers; that is, the more you actually think to get the right answers on an intelligence test, the less intelligent the score will look.

The issue, as correctly emphasized by Carl Sagan, is the probability of the evolution of high intelligence and an electronic civilization on an inhabited world. Once we have life (and almost surely it will be very different from life on Earth), what is the probability of its developing a lineage with high intelligence? On Earth, among millions of lineages of organisms and perhaps 50 billion speciation events, only one led to high intelligence; this makes me believe in its utter improbability.
Ernst Mayr

Intelligence is an interesting word. It is also something which, in my opinion, is misunderstood by many people. There are those who believe that we go to school to become intelligent. Or, the more experience a person has on a particular job, the more intelligent they become. This notion is not so. All knowledge is one hundred percent evenly present in all places, at all times. Aware is what you and I want to become. The more aware we become of this truth about intelligence, the better off we will be.
Bob Proctor
-
Your brain is the organ of your personality, character, and intelligence and is heavily involved in making you who you are.
Daniel Amen
-
Your intelligence often bears the same relation to your heart as the library of a chateau does to its owner.
Sébastien-Roch Nicolas
-
There are more fools than wise men, and even in a wise man there is more folly than wisdom.
Sébastien-Roch Nicolas

There's a heart beneath the boobs and a brain beneath the wig.
Dolly Parton
