About This Quote

This absolutely true statement works as a good metaphor for life. In our society, we have been taught from a very young age what intelligence means. The belief is that those who have the biggest vocabulary are those with the greatest intelligence. This has created a lot of problems because a lot of people have extremely large vocabularies but they aren’t intelligent at all.

They think that using big words to sound intelligent is a sure-fire way to impress others and gain respect. The problem with this belief is that being smart isn’t measured by vocabulary alone. Many people can speak confidently but lack the ability to think logically, comprehend complex ideas, or be creative.
