"Intelligence recognizes what has happened. Genius recognizes what will happen." ― John Ciardi Topic(s): Intelligence More From John Ciardi "Love is the word used to label the sexual excitement of the young, the habituation of the middle-aged, and the mutual dependence of the old." "Poetry lies its way to the truth." "It is easy enough to praise men for the courage of their convictions. I wish I could teach the sad young of this mealy generation the courage of their confusions." More In Intelligence "God gives us intelligence to uncover the wonders of nature. Without the gift, nothing is possible."― James Clavell "The intellect of the wise is like glass; it admits the light of heaven and reflects it."― Augustus Hare "Bottom line is, I didn’t return to Apple to make a fortune. I’ve been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn’t going to let it ruin my life. There’s no way you could ever spend it all, and I don’t view wealth as something that validates my intelligence."― Steve Jobs
