My dad is still Christian Scientist. My mom's not, and I'm not. But I believe in God, and that there's a higher power and an intelligence that's bigger than us and that we can rely on. It's not just us, thinking we are the ones in control of everything. That idea gives me support.

A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence, the morality, the justice, and the interest of the people themselves.

You can use all the quantitative data you can get, but you still have to distrust it and use your own intelligence and judgment.

The best intelligence test is what we do with our leisure.

The role of the intelligence - that part of us which affirms and denies and formulates opinions is merely to submit.
