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

Clever men are good, but they are not the best.

I’ve written a number of books that have to do with the evolution of humans, human intelligence, human emotions.

If a man has nothing to eat, fasting is the most intelligent thing he can do.

Knowledge and human power are synonymous.

It’s a fundamental, social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn’t support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that, it sounds like, ‚Well, yeah,‘ but you start to think, ‚Why not, though?‘ What makes one more valuable than another?

To get a name can happen but to few; it is one of the few things that cannot be brought. It is the free gift of mankind, which must be deserved before it will be granted, and is at last unwillingly bestowed.

Man is a wingless animal with two feet and flat nails.

Look, the American people are smart.

I don’t believe in an outside agent that creates the world, then walks away. But I feel very strongly there is an intelligence at work in every flower, in every blade of grass, in every cell of my body. And it is that intelligence that, I wouldn’t say created the universe. It is creating the universe. It’s an ongoing process.

Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value.

I think war is so incredibly backward, and I don’t think it’s intelligent, and it’s not sane. So why would you want to support it?

All intelligent thoughts have already been thought; what is necessary is only to try to think them again.

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

Trap is new. It didn’t start yesterday, but when I was 5, it didn’t exist – not even in the U.S. I’ve evolved with the music.

What religion a man holds, to what race he belongs, these things are not important; the really important thing is this knowledge: the knowledge of God’s plan for men. For God has a plan, and that plan is evolution.

The narrow bandwidth of TV has made us think that we are stupider than we are.

As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.

The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.

America is not nearly done. We’re only in the beginning. Who knows who we will be? Who knows… what color we will be? It is all something that, maybe, our descendants – if they survive that long – will see.

In Italy they take cheap cloth and make it look expensive, but I take expensive cloth and make it look cheap. They just don’t understand.

Evolution has ensured that our brains just aren’t equipped to visualise 11 dimensions directly. However, from a purely mathematical point of view it’s just as easy to think in 11 dimensions, as it is to think in three or four.

Be smarter than other people, just don’t tell them so.

They say cats have nine lives. I’ve had 12 already and I don’t know how many more I’ll have.

As an entrepreneur, as an investor, I’m trying to be as educated as I can to where the progression of technological capability is going and what it does to these different categories that, me as an artist and an influencer, I can get involved and bring value.

One man that has a mind and knows it can always beat ten men who haven’t and don’t.

A process which led from the amoeba to man appeared to the philosophers to be obviously a progress though whether the amoeba would agree with this opinion is not known.

We are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought.

The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.

Talent and intelligence never yet inoculated anyone against the caprice of the fates.

If you think back to the beginning of cell phones, laptops or really any new technology, it’s always expensive.

Intellectual property has the shelf life of a banana.

To discover and know has always been a deep tendency of our nature. Can we not recognize it already in caveman?

Nothing is to be rated higher than the value of the day.

A Religion of Evolution: that, when all is said and done, is what Man needs ever more explicitly if he is to survive and ‚superlive,‘ as soon as he becomes conscious of his power to ultra-hominize himself and of his duty to do so.

Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.

Love is an adventure and a conquest. It survives and develops, like the universe itself, only by perpetual discovery.

In all my wild mountaineering, I have enjoyed only one avalanche ride; and the start was so sudden, and the end came so soon, I thought but little of the danger that goes with this sort of travel, though one thinks fast at such times.

There are three kinds of intelligence: one kind understands things for itself, the other appreciates what others can understand, the third understands neither for itself nor through others. This first kind is excellent, the second good, and the third kind useless.

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.

Immaturity is the incapacity to use one’s intelligence without the guidance of another.

Man is the only animal capable of reasoning, though many others possess the faculty of memory and instruction in common with him.
