Intelligence

“The Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves.”

“It is not enough to have a good mind; one must use it.”

“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.”

“The mind is its own place, and in itself can be a continent.”

“There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man's lack of faith in his true Self.”

“The world is my representation.”

“Life is not easy for those of us who work in science and who are not particularly gifted. It is very hard work, and it is often drudgery, and it is painful and difficult; and there are moments when you feel like giving up.”

“It is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.”

“Every man has three characters — that which he exhibits, that which he has, and that which he thinks he has.”

“The intelligent man who is proud of his intelligence is like the condemned man who is proud of his large cell.”

“The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform.”

“A man provided with paper, pencil, and rubber, and subject to strict discipline, is in effect a universal machine.”

“Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.”
