...is not the person who knows everything there is to know.

Knowing things means you have an active mind and a good imagination.

That's nice and all, but the true weight of intelligence is in the DOING.

In a group of people stuck in the freezing rain, the smartest among them is not the one who knows how a nuclear reactor works or the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow...

The smartest among them is one who can light a match in the rain. After all, it doesn't matter how much you know if you're a frozen husk.

Let me be the first to say, I'm a fool.

Why? Because while I know a hell of a lot, I've done very, very little. When you know a lot, but do nothing with that knowledge, it makes you a fool.

Find someone who DOES things with their knowledge, no matter how little they actually know, and you'll find the smartest man in the room.

God bless!
