Quotes about intelligence:
What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult.
The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.
To be able to discern what is true as true and what is false as false — this is the mark and character of intelligence.
Quotes about others:
Article IV – Liberty consists of doing anything which does not harm others: thus, the exercise of the natural rights of each man has only those borders which assure other members of the society the enjoyment of these same rights. These borders can be determined only by the law.
