If you look up 'intelligence' in the new volumes of the encyclopeadia britannica, you'll find it classified under the following three heads: intelligence, human; intelligence, animal; intelligence, military. my stepfather's a perfect specimen of intelligence, military.

It is in the whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has meaning. problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure. problems call forth our courage and our wisdom; indeed, they create our courage and our wisdom. it is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually. it is through the pain of confronting and resolving problems that we learn.

A workable and effective way to meet and overcome difficulties is to take on someone else's problems. it is a strange fact but you can often handle two difficulties-your own and somebody else's-better than you can handle your own alone. that truth is based on a subtle law of self-giving or outgoingness whereby you develop a self-strengthening in the process.

Freedom! that was the thought that sung in her heart so that even though the future was so dim, it was iridescent like the mist over the river where the morning sun fell upon it. freedom! not only freedom from a bond that irked, and a companionship which depressed her; freedom, not only from the death which had threatened, but freedom from the love that had degraded her; freedom from all spiritual ties, the freedom of a disembodied spirit, and with freedom, courage , and a valiant unconcern for whatever was to come.

Enlightenment is man's leaving his self-caused immaturity. immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another. such immaturity is self-caused if it is not caused by lack of intelligence, but by lack of determination and courage to use one's intelligence without being guided by another. sapere aude! have the courage to use your own intelligence! is therefore the motto of the enlightenment.

The repose necessary to all beauty is repose, not of inanition, nor of luxury, nor of irresolution, but the repose of magnificent energy and being; in action, the calmness of trust and determination; in rest, the consciousness of duty accomplished and of victory won; and this repose and this felicity can take place as well in the midst of trial and tempest, as beside the waters of comfort.
