Intelligence is a commodity. Character is a currency.

Intelligence plus experience creates ideas, and experimentation with that form of chemistry – the contact of ideas with events – is the field of adult education.

Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.

Intelligence and the spirit of adventure can be combined to create new energies, and out of these energies may come exciting and rewarding new prospects.

If you love knowledge, you will be a master of knowledge. What you have come to know, pursue by exercise, what you have not learned, seek to add to your knowledge, for it is as reprehensible to hear a profitable saying and not grasp it as to be offered a good gift by one’s friend

As the blazing fire turns firewood to ashes, so does the fire of knowledge burn to ashes all reactions to material activities.
