VIII) In the scale of the destinies, brawn will never weigh so mach as brain. - James Russell Lowell It is only the intellect that can be thoroughly and hideously wicked. It can forget everything in the attainment of its ends.

It has no conscience. - James Russell Lowell The hand that follows intellect can achieve. - Michelangelo (Michelangelo Buonarrotti), The Artist, (Longfellow's translation) Great intellects are skeptical. - Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche Intellect is stronger than cannon. - Theodore Parker Everything connected with intellect is permanent. - William Roscoe A man is not a wall, whose stones are crushed upon the road; or a pipe, whose fragments are thrown away at a street corner.
