Quotes

  • The truth is always detectable.
  • Intelligence is quickness to apprehend as distinct from ability, which is capacity to act wisely on the thing apprehended. The measure of intelligence is the ability to change. Intelligence implies a change of organization, division of labor, and the fusion of elements to produce new ones that do not exist before. The more you know, the more you see. The more you see, the more you know. The more you can remember. The more you can remember, the more you can teach. Therefore, intelligence is a measure of one's ability to teach.
