While intellect might make a man ingenious, it is passion that keeps genius on its feet.

God’s genius is as wide as the cosmos, while by comparison our intelligence can find room on the head of a pin.

I am likely to fail if I have determined the cost as too high or my intelligence as too low. Yet, if I think about it, the real failure rests in believing either of these to be true.

The passion of one man will always outrun the intellect of a thousand others.

Starting over is opportunity informed by failure, which is opportunity made intelligent.

If you can get others to believe that your random guesses are actual answers, they’ll never guess that you never understood the question in the first place.

If there’s one thing that’s irrefutably absurd, it’s believing that we can separate intelligence from wisdom and still have it be intelligence.
