About This Quote
Intelligence minus purpose equals stupidity. It’s a shame that a person can have a lot of intelligence and still be stupid. Isn’t intelligence the sum of knowledge and ability? Stupidity is not knowing what you are supposed to do with your knowledge and ability. Some people have a good deal of intelligence, but they don’t use it to any practical purpose because they have no idea what they should do.
They lack the wisdom to see the large picture, so they get lost in the details, which makes them even more stupid than they would be without all the knowledge. So, if you are intelligent and you know what you are supposed to do with your intelligence, then you will never be stupid.
