“Character is higher than intellect.”

This quote is saying that who you are is more important that you knowledge. Someone who is smart doesn’t mean that they have the best attitude or personality. You have to show your character by being who you really are. If someone says that they're nice and kind but they don’t show it then that doesn’t mean they are. Some people say good stuff about themselves just to look good and for people to say good stuff about them. For example, if you are meeting someone new and they tell you that they have a good personality but they act mean, then they’re just lying to look good. In order to be who you say you are you have to act that way and show others that you aren’t fake just to look good. Some people that are smart like to show off their knowledge and they are cocky about it. Those kind of people are people who want everyone to think that they are the best and they like attention in my opinion. Some people are smart but they don’t show it off to look good, some are even nice and have a nice personality.
