An egoist is always intelligent, never wise.
Raheel FarooqTag: wisdom intelligence ego egoism
Ambitious people understand intelligent people far better than intelligent people understand ambitious people; therefore, ambition will always triumph over intelligence. Once you appreciate this reality, civilization becomes clearer and unfortunately, more distressing.

In youth we're twofold. Our innate intelligence, which may be considerable, coexists with the stupidity of our inexperience, which forms a second, lesser intelligence. Only later on do the two unite. That's why youth always blunders - not because of its inexperience, but because of its non-unity.

Intelligence is little more than a short foot-rule by which we measure the infinite achievements of Circumstances.
F. Scott FitzgeraldTag: intelligence innovation circumstance
