The ability to speak does not make you intelligent.

About This Quote

The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. It is often said that someone’s ability to speak well, is not a good measure of their intelligence. This is because the ability to speak well is learned, while intelligence comes from within. The more intelligent someone is, the more they are able to think for themselves and the more they are able to come up with their own ideas.

If you are asking someone what they think of something, you are probably wasting your time. They are not likely to give you an honest opinion unless they have thought about it for themselves first.
