About this Quote

In this quote, Stanley Baldwin is drawing a comparison in between the intelligent and the intelligentsia, and a gentleman and a gent. The intelligentsia describes a group of extremely informed and intellectual individuals, while a gent is a term used to explain a well-mannered and refined male. By specifying that the smart are to the intelligentsia what a gentleman is to a gent, Baldwin is suggesting that simply as a gentleman embodies the qualities of a gent, the smart have the qualities of the intelligentsia. This quote highlights the significance of intelligence and education in society, and how it is valued and appreciated by others.
