October 18 in history (via Wikipedia)

Birthday quotes

"We cannot safely assume that other people's minds work on the same principles as our own. All too often, others with whom we come in contact do not reason as we reason, or do not value the things we value, or are not interested in what interests us."

"Although intelligence tests are usually speed tests for the sake of convenience, it is debatable whether speed has any rightful place in the basic concept of intelligence."

- Isabel Briggs Myers (October 18, 1897 – May 5, 1980
