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.
—E ASTERN WISDOM
I praise Christianity because it develops, strengthens, and elevates my intellectual nature.
—WILLIAM ELLLERY 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.
