There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.

Scepticism, that dry caries of the intelligence.

So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.

Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power, intelligence, and love, and the lord of his own thoughts, he holds the key to every situation.

It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value.
