Successful Intelligence

Famous quotes containing the words successful and/or intelligence:

    The most successful career must show a waste of strength that might have removed mountains, and the most unsuccessful is not that of the man who is taken unprepared, but of him who has prepared and is never taken. On a tragedy of that kind our national morality is duly silent.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    All the intelligence and talent in the world can’t make a singer. The voice is a wild thing. It can’t be bred in captivity. It is a sport, like the silver fox. It happens.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)
