Intelligent Minds

Famous quotes containing the words intelligent and/or minds:

    Chinese were born ... with an accumulated wisdom, a natural sophistication, an intelligent naivete, and unless they were transplanted too young, these qualities ripened in them.... If ever I am homesick for China, now that I am home in my own country, it is when I discover here no philosophy. Our people have opinions and creeds and prejudices and ideas but as yet no philosophy.
    Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)

    The sure conviction that we could if we wanted to is the reason so many good minds are idle.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
