Love provides a
person with the purpose of his life. Intellect shows him the means to achieve
that purpose.
In the scheme of the world, a person is no more than a
pine cone, or a weak herb, or a bit of swamp grass, but he is a grass which
possesses some intellect.
— Blaise Pascal
Man differs from other animals only in his intellect; some
people try to develop it and others neglect it, just as they try to reject those
other qualities which differentiate them from the animals.
— Eastern Wisdom
I praise Christianity because it develops, strengthens,
and elevates my intellectual nature.
— William Ellery Channing
If a person lacks intellect, he can not distinguish bad
from good, and so he can neither truly seek nor truly have real goodness.
