Just as iron rusts from disuse, and stagnant water putrefies, or when cold turns to ice, so our intellect wastes unless it is kept in use (Intellect Quotes)
Body is purified by water. Ego by tears. Intellect is purified by knowledge. And soul is purified with love (Intellect Quotes)
Will without intellect is the most vulgar and common thing in the world, possessed by every blockhead, who, in the gratification of his passions, shows the stuff of which he is made (Intellect Quotes)
The intellect is not the means of creation, and creation does not take place through the functioning of the intellect; on the contrary, there is creation when the intellect is silent (Intellect Quotes)
If wine were to disappear from human production, I believe it would cause an absence, a failure in health and intellect, a void much more terrifying than all the recesses and the deviations for which wine is regarded as responsible (Intellect Quotes)
The intellect is a beautiful servant but a terrible master. Intellect is the power tool of our separateness. The intuitive, compassionate heart is the doorway to our unity (Intellect Quotes)
Training the intellect does not result in intelligence. Intelligence comes into being when one acts in perfect harmony, both intellectually and emotionally (Intellect Quotes)
Intelligence essentially means that your intellect is sharp enough to see life the way it is (Intellect Quotes)
Sickness is not just in the body, it could be in the mind, it could be in your intellect; it could be in the inhibitions of your intellect (Intellect Quotes)
We want the education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one’s own feet (Intellect Quotes)
It is often necessary to make a decision on the basis of knowledge sufficient for action but insufficient to satisfy the intellect (Intellect Quotes)
To have a developed intellect is always helpful if one can enlighten it from above and turn it to a divine use (Intellect Quotes)
The organs are the horses, the mind is the rein, the intellect is the charioteer, the soul is the rider, and the body is the chariot (Intellect Quotes)
If we listened to our intellect, we’d never have a love affair... or go into business. You’ve got to jump off cliffs and build your wings on the way down (Intellect Quotes)
The intellect must not be kept at consistent tension, but diverted by pastimes... The mind must have relaxation, and will rise stronger and keener after recreation (Intellect Quotes)
... you are a man still young, so to say, in your first youth and so put intellect above everything (Intellect Quotes)
In a culture whose already classical dilemma is the hypertrophy of the intellect at the expense of energy and sensual capability, interpretation is the revenge of the intellect upon art (Intellect Quotes)
Intellectual prowess has its limitations. Thus, do not limit the scope of your learning to the realm of the intellect (Intellect Quotes)
I try to let go of the intellect and just tell the story. I only read the page I have in front of me on the screen. Then when the whole story is told, I print it, wait a week and read it (Intellect Quotes)
When a natural discourse paints a passion or an effect, one feels within oneself the truth of what one reads, which was there before, although one did not know it. Hence one is inclined to love him who makes us feel it, for he has not shown us his own riches, but ours... such community of intellect that we have with him necessarily inclines the heart to love (Intellect Quotes)
I was broken in body, soul, and spirit. My natural elasticity was crushed, my intellect languished, the disposition to read departed, the cheerful spark that lingered about my eye died; the dark night of slavery closed in upon me; and behold a man transformed into a brute! (Intellect Quotes)
We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect; we apprehend it just as much by feeling. Therefore, the judgment of the intellect is, at best, only the half of truth, and must, if it be honest, also come to an understanding of its inadequacy (Intellect Quotes)
Our intellect is not the most subtle, the most powerful, the most appropriate, instrument for revealing the truth. It is life that, little by little, example by example, permits us to see that what is most important to our heart, or to our mind, is learned not by reasoning but through other agencies. Then it is that the intellect, observing their superiority, abdicates its control to them upon reasoned grounds and agrees to become their collaborator and lackey (Intellect Quotes)
How very paltry and limited the normal human intellect is, and how little lucidity there is in the human consciousness, may be judged from the fact that, despite the ephemeral brevity of human life, the uncertainty of our existence and the countless enigmas which press upon us from all sides, everyone does not continually and ceaselessly philosophize, but that only the rarest of exceptions do (Intellect Quotes)
