Ignorance is the curse of God knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.

I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their intellects. A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies.

Be as smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than to be smart.

Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.

Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.
