Progressively saved by the machine from the anxieties that bound his hands and mind to material toil, relieved of a large part of his work and compelled to an ever-increasing speed of action by the devices which his intelligence cannot help ceaselessly creating and perfecting, man is about to find himself abruptly plunged into idleness.
Intelligence
Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?
No man likes to have his intelligence or good faith questioned, especially if he has doubts about it himself.
Many difficulties which nature throws in our way, may be smoothed away by the exercise of intelligence.
The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.
Christianity taught men that love is worth more than intelligence.
One may have broad or narrow talents, but only education renders them useful. Schools set up to train people will develop the intelligence of those who have it and end the stupidity of those who do not, providing a specialty to those who have narrow talent and broad knowledge to those with all-around ability.
The intelligence of few perceives what has been carefully hidden in the recesses of the mind.
I have been a systems engineer, systems administrator, a senior adviser for the Central Intelligence Agency, a solutions consultant and a telecommunications information systems officer.
Strange indeed would it be if all the space around us be empty, mere waste void, and the inhabitants of Earth the only forms in which intelligence could clothe itself.
