Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done.

By the way, intelligence to me isn't just being book-smart or having a college degree; it's trusting your gut instincts, being intuitive, thinking outside the box, and sometimes just realizing that things need to change and being smart enough to change it.

Intelligence is the ability to take in information from the world and to find patterns in that information that allow you to organize your perceptions and understand the external world.

Intelligence is not to make no mistakes, but quickly to see how to make them good.

I've learned that intelligence alone doesn't mean a damn thing. It only leads to violence and pain.

Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.

Intelligence is really a kind of taste: taste in ideas.

I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.

Intelligence is quickness to apprehend as distinct form ability, which is capacity to act wisely on the thing apprehended.

I think intelligence basically can be in a way defined by the possibility of having two opposite ideas living together and at the same time functioning. That's why I think a smart script has two things living in the same place, and they're absolutely contradictory.
