Action is the real measure of intelligence.

Summary

This quote suggests that intelligence should not merely be assessed based on one's knowledge or theoretical understanding, but on their ability to apply it through actions. It implies that a person's true intellect is demonstrated by their practical and effective application of knowledge in real-world situations. In other words, instead of possessing knowledge alone, action and the outcomes it generates serve as a more accurate indicator of an individual's intelligence.
