Famous quotes containing the words american and/or intelligence:
“The keynote of American civilization is a sort of warm-hearted vulgarity. The Americans have none of the irony of the English, none of their cool poise, none of their manner. But they do have friendliness. Where an Englishman would give you his card, an American would very likely give you his shirt.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“There are whole precincts of voters in this country whose united intelligence does not equal that of one representative American woman.”
—Carrie Chapman Catt (1859–1947)
