"Intelligence is not enough"

"Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education" - Martin Luther King Jr.

What this quote means is that we need more than just intelligence. We need character. With both intelligence and character, we will be able to strive. Some people are really smart but if they have low character they can barely accomplish anything. Someone with high character but low intelligence, won't be able to do anything because, they'll just be too stupid. But on the other hand someone who has high intelligence and high character will be able to do almost anything they please, both academically and normally. When you have character you'll know how to properly speak to people of greater importance. If you're smart but don't have character you might not talk to someone properly and won't be able to do anything because you will have talked broken to that person and may lose the job to someone with lower intelligence but higher character.
