We avenge intellect when we dupe a fool, and it is a victory not to be despised for a fool is covered with steel and it is often very hard to find his vulnerable part.
Giacomo Casanova
We ourselves can die with comfort and even with joy if we know that death is but a passport to blessedness, that this intellect, freed from all material chains, shall rise and shine.
Matthew Simpson
We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.
Carl Jung
We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.
Albert Einstein
What is important is that one utilizes one's intellect and not to be 100 percent sure about one's convictions. One should always leave room for doubt.
Shirin Ebadi
What is important, then, is not that the critic should possess a correct abstract definition of beauty for the intellect, but a certain kind of temperament, the power of being deeply moved by the presence of beautiful objects.
Walter Pater
What's right about America is that although we have a mess of problems, we have great capacity - intellect and resources - to do some thing about them.
Henry Ford
Whatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind!
William James
Will and intellect are one and the same thing.
Baruch Spinoza
Will minus intellect constitutes vulgarity.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you.
Roger Ebert
