A beautiful saying of Imam Kadhim peace be with him regarding intellect (aql): 

“Oh Hisham, Luqman said to his son, ‘submit to the truth’, and you shall attain the strongest intellect of all people–but the intelligent are few. My son, the material world is a fathomless sea in which many people have drowned. So let the conscious of God be your ship. Let your faith be your ship’s ballast. Let reliance on God be its sails. Let your intellect be its captain. Let knowledge be its navigator. Let patience be its keel.” 

Usool-e Kafi book one, tradition 1.1.12 section 12.
