People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.

Summary

This quote implies that individuals who constantly brag about their intelligence quotient (I.Q.) lack humility and are portraying themselves as inferior. It suggests that intelligence is not measured solely by a number and that true intelligence goes beyond a single metric. By labeling those who brag about their I.Q. as "losers," the quote emphasizes the importance of character traits like modesty and a focus on personal growth rather than exaggerated self-praise based on an arbitrary measure of intelligence.

Every time a football player goes to ply his trade he's got to play from the ground up -- from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That's OK You've got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you've got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.

It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by. How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment? for the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone. That is where the writer scores over his fellows: he catches the changes of his mind on the hop. Growth is exciting; growth is dynamic and alarming. Growth of the soul, growth of the mind.
