#️⃣Intelligence

mark of character

Nothing marks a man’s character better than his attraction to intelligence.

we base our intelligence

Have you ever noticed that? We base our assessment of the intelligence of others almost entirely on how closely their thinking matches our own. I’m sure that there are people out there who violently disagree with me on most things, and I’m broad-minded enough to concede that they might possibly not be complete idiots, but I much prefer the company of people who agree with me.
