Arrogance, pedantry, and dogmatism; the occupational diseases of those who spend their lives directing the intellects of the young.
Henry Seidel Canby
Education is not to reform students or amuse them or to make them expert technicians. It is to unsettle their minds, widen their horizons, inflame their intellects, teach them to think straight, if possible.
Robert M. Hutchins
Human education is concerned with certain changes in the intellects, characters and behavior of men, its problems being roughly included under these four topics: Aims, materials, means and methods.
Edward Thorndike

Oscar Wilde
I have three brothers and they're all into computers. They're all intellects. My mother would pay me a quarter a page to read a book and I couldn't make 50 cents. I just couldn't do it.
Josh Holloway
If we look into ourselves we discover propensities which declare that our intellects have arisen from a lower form; could our minds be made visible we should find them tailed.
William Winwood Reade
Intellects whose desires have outstripped their understanding.
Friedrich August von Hayek
Marvelous is the power which can be exercised, almost unconsciously, over a company, or an individual, or even upon a crowd by one person gifted with good temper, good digestion, good intellects, and good looks.
Anthony Trollope
My idea of education is to unsettle the minds of the young and inflame their intellects.
Robert M. Hutchins

Karl Marx
Psychology is the science of the intellects, characters and behavior of animals including man.
Edward Thorndike
The tendency to whining and complaining may be taken as the surest sign symptom of little souls and inferior intellects.
Lord Jeffrey
The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects.
Leonardo da Vinci
Why should I go into details, we have nothing that is not perishable except what our hearts and our intellects endows us with.
Ovid
Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our gigantic intellects.
