Character is higher than intellect

"Character is higher than intellect"

This quote means that the good manners you have are much more important than intelligence. Good manners is having good character and doing greats acts of kindness towards others. Intellect is having intelligence and having great thinking. The reason why character is more important is because people focus more on the manners you have than your intelligence because they see if you can work well with others or not. Like for example, the North Carolina coach he chooses people who have talent, character, and are intellectual. What means that if you don't require to have the three things he expects you to have then he will not want you on his team. The more of a good character you have, the more greater things you can achieve in life.
