Friday Filosophy #2016-3

With our Friday Filosophy #2016-3, I want to continue to focus on education, with some of the terms we like to use to describe intellect.  Intelligence and genius are interesting words with all manner of preconceived notions as to what they mean. So here are some interesting quotes to consider on Intelligence.

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.

Albert Einstein.

 

Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.

Henry Ford

 

Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.

Salvador Dali

 

There is no great genius without some touch of madness.

Aristotle.

 

Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.

Stephen Hawking.

 

Common sense is not so common.

Voltaire.

 

The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.

Plutarch.

 

There are no limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination and wonder.

Ronald Reagan.

 

The time is now.
