"Skill is the unified force of experience, intellect and passion in their operation."

"Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort."

"Mad, adj. Affected with a high degree of intellectual independence."

"Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently."

"Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently."

"I don't care how smart a kid you are. The only way you learn what's not right is from experience."

“Intelligent teenage girls were often instinctively theatrical, purposely eccentric, mouthing highly suggestive words to confuse people.”

“No leader, however great, can long continue unless he wins battles. The battle decides all.”

“Leadership is based on a spiritual quality; the power to inspire, the power to inspire others to follow.”

My biggest criticism is how can people be so easily satisfied? Even people with talent.

Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.

The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious.

Intelligence is the understanding of self

An intelligent mind is one which is constantly learning, never concluding – styles and patterns have come to conclusion, therefore they have ceased to be intelligent.

When you write an article about anything, trolls use the comments to attack. They feel frustrated - but haters are losers. It's not good to feed this aspect. It's more intelligent to be constructive.

Years and years ago, I did a game based on 'Hitchhiker's Guide' with a company called Infocom, which was a great company. They were doing witty, intelligent, literate games based on text.

“The first thing the intellect does with an object is to class it along with something else. But any object that is infinitely important to us and awakens our devotion feels to us also as if it must be sui generis and unique. Probably a crab would be filled with a sense of personal outrage if it could hear us class it without ado or apology as a crustacean, and thus dispose of it. "I am no such thing," it would say; "I am MYSELF, MYSELF alone.” 

Intellectual tasting of life will not supersede muscular activity.

“I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their good intellects.” 

The wise through excess of wisdom is made a fool.

Intelligence is a separate gift, for the benefit of students, so that they may think of themselves as intellectual and not very intelligent, or intelligent and not very intellectual. One hopes, of course, that they try to bring the two virtues, the two elements, into their lives at the same time.

I would like to be known as an intelligent woman, a courageous woman, a loving woman, a woman who teaches by being.

I'm grateful to intelligent people. That doesn't mean educated. That doesn't mean intellectual. I mean really intelligent. What black old people used to call 'mother wit' means intelligence that you had in your mother's womb. That's what you rely on. You know what's right to do.

If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.
