| Salvador Dali | Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.  | 101 |
| A. A. Milne | Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. | 101 |
| Alice McDermott | What interests me is whatever it is that allows the heart to continue to yearn for something the intelligence knows is impossible to have: a lost love, a shelter from life's blows, the return of a time past, even a connection to the dead. | 101 |
| Charles Churchill | Genius is independent of situation. | 101 |
| Daymond John | I'm a big advocate of financial intelligence. | 101 |
| Geoffrey Chaucer | The greatest scholars are not usually the wisest people. | 101 |
| Holly Near | If you have the guts to keep making mistakes, your wisdom and intelligence leap forward with huge momentum. | 101 |
| Louis Pasteur | Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence. | 101 |
| Oded Fehr | I did my military service from 1989 - 92 and I was never shot at or had to fire on anybody. I was very lucky. I was more involved in intelligence and counter-intelligence. | 101 |
| Roy H. Williams | A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether. | 101 |
| Stephen Leacock | Advertising: the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it. | 101 |
| Zhang Zhidong | In order to defend the Chinese race, one must first defend the Confucian culture; and in order to defend the Confucian culture, one must first defend the State. This is because what preserves the race relies upon intelligence, which is in turn nurtured by Confucian education. | 101 |
| Alan Kay | Some people worry that artificial intelligence will make us feel inferior, but then, anybody in his right mind should have an inferiority complex every time he looks at a flower. | 101 |
| Eliezer Yudkowsky | By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it. | 101 |
| Frank Carlucci | My understanding is that what was provided was general order of battle information, not operational intelligence. I certainly have no knowledge of US participation in preparing battle and strike packages and doubt strongly that that occurred. | 101 |
| Helen Gurley Brown | My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense. | 101 |
| John le Carre | I wrote 'The Spy Who Came in from the Cold' at the age of 30 under intense, unshared personal stress and in extreme privacy. As an intelligence officer in the guise of a junior diplomat at the British Embassy in Bonn, I was a secret to my colleagues, and much of the time to myself. | 101 |
| Richard C. Armitage | The war we are fighting today against terrorism is a multifaceted fight. We have to use every tool in our toolkit to wage this war - diplomacy, finance, intelligence, law enforcement, and of course, military power - and we are developing new tools as we go along. | 101 |
| Wendy E. Long | Public officials insult our intelligence and our goodwill when they paint rosy pictures about budgets, jobs, bipartisanship, and transparency, and alter their positions on issues simply to keep collecting their paycheck by never disagreeing or disappointing anyone. | 101 |
| Bill Nelson | The terrorist uses surprise and stealth, and the only way to defeat that is by having accurate and timely intelligence. | 101 |
| Catharine Beecher | As liberty and intelligence have increased the people have more and more revolted against the theological dogmas that contradict common sense and wound the tenderest sensibilities of the soul. | 101 |
| Marya Mannes | The sign of an intelligent people is their ability to control their emotions by the application of reason. | 101 |
| Paul Claudel | Intelligence is nothing without delight. | 101 |
| Robert Pinsky | I think art is not an ornament or refinement at the fringes of human intelligence, I think it's at the center. It's at the core. | 101 |
| William Hedgcock Webster | The people who work in intelligence work are more conscious, more apt to be attentive. | 101 |
| Allan Savory | The problem with holistic management is it's so profoundly simple, but it's not easy. And it's profoundly simple. You're almost insulting people's intelligence to explain it twice, just about making better decisions of where you want to go in your life, bringing in environmental, social, economic issues simultaneously. | 101 |
| Daniel Keyes | I've learned that intelligence alone doesn't mean a damn thing. It only leads to violence and pain. | 101 |
| George Tenet | By definition, intelligence deals with the unclear, the unknown, the deliberately hidden. What the enemies of the United States hope to deny we work to reveal. | 101 |
| Hulagu Khan | If you wish to spare yourself and your venerable family, give heed to my advice with the ear of intelligence. If you do not, you will see what God has willed. | 101 |
| Pat Roberts | First, I have the privilege of being Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. It is not an oxymoron I assure you. | 101 |
| Thomas Francis Meagher | I now bid farewell to the country of my birth - of my passions - of my death; a country whose misfortunes have invoked my sympathies - whose factions I sought to quell - whose intelligence I prompted to a lofty aim - whose freedom has been my fatal dream. | 101 |
| Antonio Gramsci | I'm a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will. | 101 |
| Brad Delson | I'm inspired by the sheer ingenuity and intelligence possessed by my fellow band mates. | 101 |
| Caio Fonseca | My forms are not abstractions of things in the real world. They're also not symbols. I would say that my job is to invent these forms and to put them together in a way that keeps your interest, to give the forms a quirky identity so you can engage with them, so you realize there's an inner intelligence or logic. | 101 |
| David Hanson | Character robotics could plant the seed for robots that actually have empathy. So, if they achieve human level intelligence or, quite possibly, greater than human levels of intelligence, this could be the seeds of hope for our future. | 101 |
| Don Tapscott | In one sense, the Internet is like the discovery of the printing press, only it's very different. The printing press gave us access to recorded knowledge. The Internet gives us access, not just to knowledge, but to the intelligence contained in people's crania, access to the intelligence of people on a global basis. | 101 |
| Ed Parker | The intelligent man is one who has successfully fulfilled many accomplishments, and is yet willing to learn more. | 101 |
| Louisa Hall | The idea of a piece of literature as a vessel that could contain your life and lived after you had died and been forgotten struck me as akin to artificial intelligence. | 101 |
| Mark Kennedy | All of the biggest technological inventions created by man - the airplane, the automobile, the computer - says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness. | 101 |
| Roger Wicker | Since 2001, the Patriot Act has provided the means to detect and disrupt terrorist threats against the U.S. Prior to enactment of the law, major legal barriers prevented intelligence, national defense, and law enforcement agencies from working together and sharing information. | 101 |
| Spiro T. Agnew | An intellectual is a man who doesn't know how to park a bike. | 101 |
| Douglas Hofstadter | For 13 to be unlucky would require there to be some kind of cosmic intelligence that counts things that humans count and that also makes certain things happen on certain dates or in certain places according to whether the number 13 'is involved' or not (whatever 'is involved' might mean). | 101 |
| Dutch Ruppersberger | I believe that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act must be reformed. We must improve the American public's confidence in, and perception of, our national security programs, by increasing transparency, strengthening oversight, and safeguarding civil liberties. | 101 |
| Matt Reeves | I'm a first-time father, and it was amazing to me to learn that my son could actually use sign language before the spoken word. I could see this intelligence in his eyes before he could speak: how he could understand what was going on around him and was frustrated by that. | 101 |
| Moran Atias | I like a guy who's sarcastic, serious, sensitive - even just silent. But you have to do it at the right times. That's sexy. To me, it reflects intelligence. | 101 |
| Bernard Liautaud | I believe Business Objects is on the cusp of becoming a multi-billion-dollar sales company. There is tremendous growth potential for business intelligence. | 101 |
| Marco Tempest | I combine magic and science to create illusions. I work with new media and interactive technologies, things like artificial intelligence or computer vision, and integrate them in my magic. | 101 |
| Markus Wolf | Making use of human weaknesses in intelligence work is a logical matter. It keeps coming up, and of course you try to look at all the aspects that interest you in a human being. | 101 |
| David M. Shoup | To lack intelligence is to be in the ring blindfolded. | 101 |
| Arthur Holly Compton | It is not difficult for me to have this faith, for it is incontrovertible that where there is a plan there is intelligence - an orderly, unfolding universe testifies to the truth of the most majestic statement ever uttered - 'In the beginning, God.' | 101 |
| Arthur D. Levinson | Physics is a hobby of mine, as much as a person of limited intelligence can understand physics. | 101 |
| Jim Toomey | I've always admired sharks because they have a dimension of intelligence that is somewhat unique to that animal, and especially a great white. A great white has this organ called an ampullae of Lorenzini, and it can actually sense electromagnetic disturbances. | 101 |
| Joseph Story | Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them. | 101 |
| Joby Warrick | 'Triple Agent' is a different kind of read because it is, at its core, a pure narrative, the story of an intelligence operation that unfolds over the course of a year and then goes badly wrong. There's a lot of 'news' in the book, including an account of drone warfare that is as detailed, in my humble opinion, as any in the open-source arena. | 101 |
| John Michael Hayes | Nothing has caused the human race so much trouble as intelligence. | 101 |
| Julius Charles Hare | Be what you are. This is the first step toward becoming better than you are. | 101 |
| James Joyce | A man of genius makes no mistakes; his errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery. | 102 |
| James Madison | Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives. | 102 |
| William F. Buckley, Jr. | I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting that you really believe what you just said. | 102 |
| Georg C. Lichtenberg | Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together. | 102 |
| Huston Smith | Human intelligence is a reflection of the intelligence that produces everything. In knowing, we are simply extending the intelligence that comes to and constitutes us. We mimic the mind of God, so to speak. Or better, we continue and extend it. | 102 |
| Ian Watson | I worked with Stanley Kubrick for almost a year back in 1990, trying to develop the screen story for his project 'Artificial Intelligence,' which is about a robot boy who wishes to become a real boy, a future scientific fairy tale inspired in the myth of Pinocchio. | 102 |
| Ken Robinson | We live in worlds that we have forged and composed. It's much more true than any of the species that you see. I mean, it seems to me that one of the most distinctive features of human intelligence is the capacity to imagine, to project out of our own immediate circumstances and to bring to mind things that aren't present here and now. | 102 |
| Livy | Many difficulties which nature throws in our way, may be smoothed away by the exercise of intelligence. | 102 |
| Paul Revere | In the Fall of 1774 & Winter of 1775, I was one of upwards of thirty, chiefly mechanics, who formed ourselves into a committee for the purpose of watching the movements of the British soldiers, and gaining every intelligence of the movements of the Tories. | 102 |
| Roger Ebert | Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you. | 102 |
| Thucydides | Ignorance is bold and knowledge reserved. | 102 |
| Daniel H. Wilson | I absolutely don't think a sentient artificial intelligence is going to wage war against the human species. | 102 |
| Daniel Tammet | I know from my own experience that there is much more to 'intelligence' than an IQ number. In fact, I hesitate to believe that any system could really reflect the complexity and uniqueness of one person's mind, or meaningfully describe the nature of his or her potential. | 102 |
| Eliezer Yudkowsky | Anything that could give rise to smarter-than-human intelligence - in the form of Artificial Intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, or neuroscience-based human intelligence enhancement - wins hands down beyond contest as doing the most to change the world. Nothing else is even in the same league. | 102 |
| Grover Cleveland | Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote. The relative positions to be assumed by man and woman in the working out of our civilization were assigned long ago by a higher intelligence than ours. | 102 |
| Karl A. Menninger | The voice of the intelligence is drowned out by the roar of fear. It is ignored by the voice of desire. It is contradicted by the voice of shame. It is biased by hate and extinguished by anger. Most of all it is silenced by ignorance. | 102 |
| Klaus Schwab | We must address, individually and collectively, moral and ethical issues raised by cutting-edge research in artificial intelligence and biotechnology, which will enable significant life extension, designer babies, and memory extraction. | 102 |
| Paul Graham | If you imagine someone with 100 percent determination and 100 percent intelligence, you can discard a lot of intelligence before they stop succeeding. But if you start discarding determination, you very quickly get an ineffectual and perpetual grad student. | 102 |
| Remy de Gourmont | We live less and less, and we learn more and more. Sensibility is surrendering to intelligence. | 102 |
| Tamsin Egerton | My mum is a bit unconventional; she's outdoorsy and has more of an emotional intelligence, whereas my dad is pragmatic; he's a businessman. | 102 |
| Annie Jump Cannon | Teaching man his relatively small sphere in the creation, it also encourages him by its lessons of the unity of Nature and shows him that his power of comprehension allies him with the great intelligence over-reaching all. | 102 |
| Augustus Hare | The intellect of the wise is like glass; it admits the light of heaven and reflects it. | 102 |
| Dana Priest | As a beat reporter covering the CIA and intelligence world after the terrorist attacks of 2001, I could sense that many things I couldn't see or understand were changing, expanding, getting so big they were difficult to manage. | 102 |
| Erik Brynjolfsson | There are lots of examples of routine, middle-skilled jobs that involve relatively structured tasks, and those are the jobs that are being eliminated the fastest. Those kinds of jobs are easier for our friends in the artificial intelligence community to design robots to handle them. They could be software robots; they could be physical robots. | 102 |
| Erin Gray | We have three centers: the emotional center, the intellectual center, and the physical body center. Each one of them has its own intelligence. How much better would we be if all three were working in unison? | 102 |
| Julian Castro | I couldn't help but to think back to my classmates at Thomas Jefferson High School in San Antonio. They had the same talent, the same brains, the same dreams as the folks we sat with at Stanford and Harvard. I realized the difference wasn't one of intelligence or drive. The difference was opportunity. | 102 |
| Ronald Kessler | Because of the terrorist threat, the FBI and CIA have become as important as the military in preserving our freedom. Yet while thanking our military is standard practice in American life, no one thinks of thanking the FBI, the CIA, or the rest of the intelligence community for keeping us safe since 9/11. | 102 |
| Samuel Morse | If the presence of electricity can be made visible in any part of the circuit, I see no reason why intelligence may not be transmitted instantaneously by electricity. | 102 |
| Danny Aiello | Look, people have an image of Italians. When I go somewhere in the world, I don't care where it is, when they look at me it's not about my intelligence. It's who can I beat up. | 102 |
| Godfried Danneels | Artificial Intelligence leaves no doubt that it wants its audiences to enter a realm of pure fantasy when it identifies one of the last remaining islands of civilization as New Jersey. | 102 |
| Jack Keane | Despite the obvious intelligence and security failures that contributed to the attack against the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, the reality is that in one night, an al Qaeda-affiliated group destroyed a diplomatic post, killed a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans, and forced an end to clandestine U.S. activity in the area. | 102 |
| John Pistole | I want to improve TSA's counterterrorism focus through intelligence and cutting edge technology, support the TSA workforce, and strengthen the agency's relationships with stakeholders and the traveling public. All of these priorities are interconnected and are vital to TSA's mission - and I would say, all of our collective mission. | 102 |
| Konrad Adenauer | In view of the fact that God limited the intelligence of man, it seems unfair that He did not also limit his stupidity. | 102 |
| Louis Freeh | Collecting intelligence information is like trying to drink water out of a fire hydrant. You know, in hindsight It's great. The problem is there's a million dots at the time. | 102 |
| Margaret Anderson | Intellectuals are too sentimental for me. | 102 |
| Sri Aurobindo | She saw too that man has the power of exceeding himself, of becoming himself more entirely and profoundly than he is, truths which have only recently begun to be seen in Europe and seem even now too great for its common intelligence. | 102 |
| Christiane Nusslein-Volhard | In mathematics and science, there is no difference in the intelligence of men and women. The difference in genes between men and women is simply the Y chromosome, which has nothing to do with intelligence. | 102 |
| Don Herold | There is nobody so irritating as somebody with less intelligence and more sense than we have. | 102 |
| Eion Bailey | I'm very interested in soldier recovery projects and in Bradley Manning's story, the army intelligence officer who's being held as a detainee and is going to trial for crimes of treason. | 102 |
| Lizzie Brochere | Of course I believe in aliens. I think it's very egocentric to think that there's nothing else with intelligence in the whole universe. | 102 |
| Michael Nesmith | Some ways of using our thinking are really inspiring. There are people who use their thinking to race cars. People use their thinking to build rockets to the moon. It's all just a use of your thinking. | 102 |
| Mike Leigh | My work requires acting at its most committed - it demands actors of enormous resilience, but also intelligence and wit. It doesn't work for narcissistic or selfish actors. | 102 |
| Pete Hoekstra | The danger of having the military take over intelligence is that the military has a very different perspective on the world. | 102 |
| Sloan Wilson | Success in almost any field depends more on energy and drive than it does on intelligence. This explains why we have so many stupid leaders. | 102 |
| Ted Bell | Every major player is working on this technology of artificial intelligence. As of now, it's benign... but I would say that the day is not far off when artificial intelligence as applied to cyber warfare becomes a threat to everybody. | 102 |
| Ted Stevens | I do have concerns about the current efforts to restructure our nation's intelligence community. | 102 |
| Jeff Hawkins | Prediction is not just one of the things your brain does. It is the primary function of the neo-cortex, and the foundation of intelligence. | 102 |
| Lucien Bouchard | It's the continuation of everyone's childhood to see these young children who grow up full of life, full of intelligence, full of a sense of wonder. And within an instant they're gone from this world. It's terrible. | 102 |
| Michael Polanyi | Human beings exercise responsibilities within a social setting and a framework of obligations which transcend the principle of intelligence. | 102 |
| Charles Cumming | I'm fascinated by the journey that an intelligent and an ambitious woman makes in the professional world in contrast to the journey that a man of similar ambition, of similar intelligence makes. What sort of concessions does a woman have to make? Does she have to work 20 percent harder than a man? | 102 |
| Cristina Kirchner | I think America has more than enough maturity and intelligence to start exercising its world leadership responsibly. | 102 |
| Shannon Tweed | I have beauty, intelligence, individuality, sensuality and sexuality. | 102 |
| Charles Munch | Music is an art that expresses the inexpressible. It rises far above what words can mean or the intelligence define. Its domain is the imponderable and impalpable land of the unconscious. | 102 |
| James Clavell | God gives us intelligence to uncover the wonders of nature. Without the gift, nothing is possible. | 102 |
| Richard M. Helms | Yes; we have a specific procedure which we follow in all cases where the Agency is in contact, for the purposes of acquiring intelligence or whatever the case may be, with an individual. | 102 |
| Shirley Hazzard | Sometimes, surely, truth is closer to imagination or to intelligence, to love than to fact? To be accurate is not to be right. | 102 |
| Allison Scagliotti | I do feel more towards certain characters who have depth and intelligence. | 102 |
| Jeffrey Toobin | The United States, like any great power, is always going to have an intelligence operation, and some electronic surveillance is obligatory in the modern world. | 102 |
| John Reid | Every intelligence agency in the world believed that Saddam Hussein had had weapons of mass destruction, precursor chemicals. The inspectors, over a period of ten years, had managed to gain access to much of those precursor chemicals. | 102 |
| James Hal Cone | Truth knows no color; it appeals to intelligence. | 102 |
| Michael Jordan | Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships. | 103 |
| Alec Baldwin | There's three things: there's masculinity, there's intelligence, there's sensitivity. You've got to bring those three things to a leading man's role: masculinity, sensitivity, intelligence. In some people, there's a little too much in the mix of one or the other. | 103 |
| Carl von Clausewitz | Many intelligence reports in war are contradictory; even more are false, and most are uncertain. | 103 |
| Francis Collins | I believe God did intend, in giving us intelligence, to give us the opportunity to investigate and appreciate the wonders of His creation. He is not threatened by our scientific adventures. | 103 |
| George Herbert Mead | The intelligence of the lower forms of animal life, like a great deal of human intelligence, does not involve a self. | 103 |
| Graydon Carter | We admire elephants in part because they demonstrate what we consider the finest human traits: empathy, self-awareness, and social intelligence. But the way we treat them puts on display the very worst of human behavior. | 103 |
| Ingrid Newkirk | Perhaps measuring animal intelligence by comparing it to human intelligence isn't the best litmus test. | 103 |
| Krista Tippett | Intelligence alone does not get us where we need to go or even necessarily where we want to go. For that, the human creature must exercise harder-won capacities of wisdom, and wise action. | 103 |
| Laurence J. Peter | The best intelligence test is what we do with our leisure. | 103 |
| Plutarch | The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled. | 103 |
| Sebastian Thrun | I ultimately got into robotics because for me, it was the best way to study intelligence. | 103 |
| Seth Shostak | Is E.T. out there? Well, I work at the SETI Institute. That's almost my name. SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. In other words, I look for aliens, and when I tell people that at a cocktail party, they usually look at me with a mildly incredulous look on their face. I try to keep my own face somewhat dispassionate. | 103 |
| Sophia Bush | I think the sexiest thing on anybody is intelligence. I respect somebody who has a brain and wants to use it more than a pretty face and status. | 103 |
| Tabatha Coffey | By the way, intelligence to me isn't just being book-smart or having a college degree; it's trusting your gut instincts, being intuitive, thinking outside the box, and sometimes just realizing that things need to change and being smart enough to change it. | 103 |
| Timothy Leary | We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. But they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go. | 103 |
| Tyler Cowen | The iPhone is made on a global scale, and it blends computers, the Internet, communications, and artificial intelligence in one blockbuster, game-changing innovation. It reflects so many of the things that our contemporary world is good at - indeed, great at. | 103 |
| William Feather | One of the indictments of civilizations is that happiness and intelligence are so rarely found in the same person. | 103 |
| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart | Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius. | 103 |
| Zbigniew Brzezinski | We have actually experienced in recent months a dramatic demonstration of an unprecedented intelligence failure, perhaps the most significant intelligence failure in the history of the United States. | 103 |
| Brad Thor | We have an incredible warrior class in this country - people in law enforcement, intelligence - and I thank God every night we have them standing fast to protect us from the tremendous amount of evil that exists in the world. | 103 |
| Captain Beefheart | When I see a dolphin, I know it's just as smart as I am. | 103 |
| Frank Carlucci | I can remember when I was National Security Adviser, the intelligence community told us... they put out an intelligence report saying that Iran would never back off from attacks on shipping in the Gulf if we use force. | 103 |
| Gijs de Vries | In the fight against terrorism, national agencies keep full control over their police forces, security and intelligence agencies and judicial authorities. | 103 |
| Holbrook Jackson | Genius is initiative on fire. | 103 |
| William A. Dembski | Intelligent design is a modest position theologically and philosophically. It attributes the complexity and diversity of life to intelligence, but does not identify that intelligence with the God of any religious faith or philosophical system. | 103 |
| John Ciardi | Intelligence recognizes what has happened. Genius recognizes what will happen. | 103 |
| Kerry Bishe | I love smart and curious people. I value intelligence in my friends and relationships. | 103 |
| Michael Hayden | There's this movie, 'Zero Dark Thirty' about the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Some have complained that too many 'secrets' were dished out by the intelligence and special operations communities to director Kathryn Bigelow, screenwriter Mark Boal and their crew, part of a broader pattern of using intelligence for political effect. | 103 |
| Rachel Bloom | The No. 1 thing I am earnestly attracted to is intelligence. | 103 |
| Tanit Phoenix | I am attracted to intelligence, a witty sense of humor, an adventurous outlook on life and spiritual awareness about one's self and the world. | 103 |
| Alan Perlis | A year spent in artificial intelligence is enough to make one believe in God. | 103 |
| Armando Iannucci | Never underestimate the intelligence of the audience; make good programmes, and they will come. | 103 |
| Ellen Gilchrist | In the schools of small Midwestern towns, the only aristocracies are of beauty, intelligence, and athletic prowess. | 103 |
| George Tenet | When I came to the CIA in the mid-'90s, our graduating class of case officers was unbelievably low. Now, after years of rebuilding, our training programs and putting our best efforts to recruit the most talented men and women, we are graduating more clandestine officers than at any time in the history of the Central Intelligence Agency. | 103 |
| Joseph Chilton Pearce | Play is the only way the highest intelligence of humankind can unfold. | 103 |
| Liz Vassey | My biggest turn-on has to be brains, intelligence. | 103 |
| Michael Merzenich | If a brain is exercised properly, anyone can grow intelligence, at any age, and potentially by a lot. Or you can just let your brain idle - and watch it slowly, inexorably, go to seed like a sedentary body. | 103 |
| Alan Lightman | I consider myself a spiritual atheist. I certainly believe there are forces bigger than ourselves, and that we should be searching, individually, for meaning in our lives. But I don't believe there's a supreme being, an intelligence that created everything. | 103 |
| Betty Dodson | We are constantly protecting the male ego, and it's a disservice to men. If a man has any sensitivity or intelligence, he wants to get the straight scoop from his girlfriend. | 103 |
| Bobby Ray Inman | The standard rumor at the time was that Rumsfeld, as chief of staff, had persuaded President Ford to appoint George H.W. Bush as director of Central Intelligence, assuming that that got rid of a potential competitor for the presidency. | 103 |
| Chauncey Wright | The accidental causes of science are only accidents relatively to the intelligence of a man. | 103 |
| Cofer Black | The plan we developed to deal with al Qaeda depended on developing sources of human and technical intelligence that could give us insights into his plans at the tactical level. This is easy to say but hard to accomplish. | 103 |
| Dale Archer | Beauty is an asset, just like physical prowess, charisma, brains or emotional intelligence. The key with any gift is in the way that you use it. It doesn't define you as a person. Rather, it's an asset to be used judiciously and with an understanding of how it is just a small part of who you are. | 103 |
| Daniel Hannan | The 'Robben Island Bible' has arrived at the British Museum. It's a garish thing, its cover plastered with pink and gold Hindu images, designed to hide its contents. Within is the finest collection of words generated by human intelligence: the complete works of William Shakespeare. | 103 |
| Ernest Newman | The higher the voice the smaller the intellect. | 103 |
| James C. Maxwell | The mind of man has perplexed itself with many hard questions. Is space infinite, and in what sense? Is the material world infinite in extent, and are all places within that extent equally full of matter? Do atoms exist or is matter infinitely divisible? | 103 |
| John Astin | People are smarter than you might think. | 103 |
| Robert Jarvik | This idea that clumsy, stumbling people are real bright is ridiculous, because intelligence is related to neurologic function, and really intelligent people are very well-coordinated. | 103 |
| Stephen Cambone | We have been working hard to think about what our combined needs are going to be in the way of intelligence capabilities, not today but 15 to 20 years in the future. | 103 |
| Thomas W. Higginson | When a thought takes one's breath away, a grammar lesson seems an impertinence. | 103 |
| Chris Cannon | Our men and women in uniform deserve the best intelligence possible to help them protect America. | 103 |
| Jeff Hawkins | The key to artificial intelligence has always been the representation. | 103 |
| Alexander Mackenzie | I am sure that in Canada the people appreciate this principle, and the general intelligence which prevails over that country is such that I am sure there is no danger of a reactionary policy ever finding a response in the hearts of any considerable number of our people. | 103 |
| John Jay Hooker | The Constitution was written by 55 educated and highly intelligent men in Philadelphia in 1787, but it was written so that it could be understood by people of limited education and modest intelligence. | 103 |
| Andy Hobsbawm | Among many other things, a smartphone functions as a handheld digital sensor for the physical world. In other words, we don't necessarily need our real world things to be directly connected, when the Web interface in our mobile devices provides the network access and intelligence. | 103 |
| John George Nicolay | Lincoln's stature and strength, his intelligence and ambition - in short, all the elements which gave him popularity among men in New Salem, rendered him equally attractive to the fair sex of that village. | 103 |
| John Lloyd | I'd never bought the idea that you don't lose money by underestimating the intelligence of the audience. Although perhaps I should add that I've never really made that much money. | 103 |
| James Joseph Sylvester | The object of pure physics is the unfolding of the laws of the intelligible world; the object of pure mathematics that of unfolding the laws of human intelligence. | 103 |
| Martin Luther King, Jr. | The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education. | 104 |
| Henry Ford | Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently. | 104 |
| Alvin Toffler | You can use all the quantitative data you can get, but you still have to distrust it and use your own intelligence and judgment. | 104 |
| Carole King | I think Madonna has a great deal of intelligence and capability. I have a lot of respect for her. She's taken her career and maximized it with intelligence and creativity. | 104 |
| Carrie Chapman Catt | There are whole precincts of voters in this country whose united intelligence does not equal that of one representative American woman. | 104 |
| Daniel Goleman | Emotional intelligence begins to develop in the earliest years. All the small exchanges children have with their parents, teachers, and with each other carry emotional messages. | 104 |
| Daniel Kahneman | By their very nature, heuristic shortcuts will produce biases, and that is true for both humans and artificial intelligence, but the heuristics of AI are not necessarily the human ones. | 104 |
| David Lynch | Transcendental meditation is an ancient mental technique that allows any human being to dive within, transcend and experience the source of everything. It's such a blessing for the human being because that eternal field is a field of unbounded intelligence, creativity, happiness, love, energy and peace. | 104 |
| Giorgio Vasari | Art owes its origin to Nature herself... this beautiful creation, the world, supplied the first model, while the original teacher was that divine intelligence which has not only made us superior to the other animals, but like God Himself, if I may venture to say it. | 104 |
| Lev Vygotsky | The most significant moment in the course of intellectual development, which gives birth to the purely human forms of practical and abstract intelligence, occurs when speech and practical activity, two previously completely independent lines of development, converge. | 104 |
| Maharishi Mahesh Yogi | When the conscious mind expands to embrace deeper levels of thinking, the thought wave becomes more powerful and results in added energy and intelligence. | 104 |
| Paul Cellucci | These are Canadian and United States intelligence and law enforcement offices who are working in teams and who are using good intelligence and good law enforcement to really stop the criminals and terrorists before they ever get to the border. | 104 |
| Saul Bellow | A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep. | 104 |
| Tabatha Coffey | We should all feel confident in our intelligence. By the way, intelligence to me isn't just being book-smart or having a college degree; it's trusting your gut instincts, being intuitive, thinking outside the box, and sometimes just realizing that things need to change and being smart enough to change it. | 104 |
| Vernor Vinge | Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. | 104 |
| Auguste Rodin | There are unknown forces in nature; when we give ourselves wholly to her, without reserve, she lends them to us; she shows us these forms, which our watching eyes do not see, which our intelligence does not understand or suspect. | 104 |
| Bob Graham | We need to make a greater investment in human intelligence. | 104 |
| David Kay | I also believe that it is time to begin the fundamental analysis of how we got here, what led us here and what we need to do in order to ensure that we are equipped with the best possible intelligence as we face these issues in the future. | 104 |
| G. H. Hardy | It is not worth an intelligent man's time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that. | 104 |
| Irene Peter | Ignorance is no excuse, it's the real thing. | 104 |
| Kelly Ayotte | As a former attorney general. I have the greatest respect for the criminal justice system. But it is not good at intelligence gathering. | 104 |
| Mike McCaul | Without - you know, good intelligence stops plots against the homeland. Without that intelligence, we cannot effectively stop it. | 104 |
| Sidonie Gabrielle Colette | The woman who thinks she is intelligent demands equal rights with men. A woman who is intelligent does not. | 104 |
| Vernon A. Walters | Americans have always had an ambivalent attitude toward intelligence. When they feel threatened, they want a lot of it, and when they don't, they regard the whole thing as somewhat immoral. | 104 |
| Michael K. Simpson | The original PATRIOT Act greatly increased our nation's ability to share intelligence information, made better use of technology, and provided terrorism investigators tools that have long been available in cases involving illegal drugs and organized crime. | 104 |
| Nichelle Nichols | I think anybody with any intelligence sits down and sees Star Trek not a kids' show. | 104 |
| Robert Mueller | Prior to the passage of the Patriot Act, it was very difficult - often impossible - for us to share information with the Central Intelligence Agency, with NSA, with the other intelligence agencies, and likewise, for them to share information with us. | 104 |
| William Drummond | Iron sharpens iron; scholar, the scholar. | 104 |
| Barry Zito | I refuse to be molded into some stereotypical ballplayer that has no interests, really, no life, no depth, no intelligence. | 104 |
| Edgar Rice Burroughs | Imagination is but another name for super intelligence. | 104 |
| George Tenet | To understand a difficult topic like Iraq takes patience and care. Unfortunately, you rarely hear a patient, careful or thoughtful discussion of intelligence these days. | 104 |
| Guo Guangchang | No one holds a permanent speed advantage in the market due to the limits of human intelligence and vision. Your advantage comes from your ability to feel the change faster and take decisive action faster. | 104 |
| James Fenton | An aria in an opera - Handel's 'Ombra mai fu,' for example - gets along with an incredibly small number of words and ideas and a large amount of variation and repetition. That's the beauty of it. It's not taxing to the listener's intelligence because if you haven't heard it the first time round, it'll come around again. | 104 |
| Louise Leakey | What is it that really makes us, us? It's our collective intelligence. It's our ability to write things down, our language and our consciousness. | 104 |
| Mireille Guiliano | Intelligence, knowledge or experience are important and might get you a job, but strong communication skills are what will get you promoted. | 104 |
| Ron Jaworski | The heartbeat of a football team is the quarterback position and I think everyone who has any intelligence about the game understands you must have consistency at that position to be a championship team. | 104 |
| Tyrese Gibson | The beautiful thing about my intelligence is that it doesn't really come in one specific department. So even if something hasn't happened to me, I have information on how to get you through whatever you may be going through. | 104 |
| Christine Ebersole | I experience psychic phenomena, so people think I must be crazy. But you have to be accessible and intelligent to be a good actor. I might not have gotten the best grades in school, but I have a very high level of emotional intelligence. You have to be open to receive. | 104 |
| David Quammen | On April 3, 2014, Jane Goodall turned 80. The iconic blond ponytail has gone gray, but the sparkle of intelligence, sly humor, and fierce dedication still shines from her hazel eyes. | 104 |
| Jan Koum | Advertising isn't just the disruption of aesthetics, the insults to your intelligence and the interruption of your train of thought. At every company that sells ads, a significant portion of their engineering team spends their day tuning data mining, writing better code to collect all your personal data. | 104 |
| Ted Stevens | I rise today to discuss the National Intelligence Reform bill. I commend my colleagues in both Houses for their hard work in coming to an agreement. As with any conference, each voice is heard, but none can dominate and compromise must be achieved. | 104 |
| Seymour Hersh | It doesn't matter that Bush scares the hell out of me. What matters is that he scares the hell out of a lot of very important people in Washington who can't speak out, in the military, in the intelligence community. | 104 |
| James Randolph Adams | Millions of dollars' worth of advertising shows such little respect for the reader's intelligence that it amounts almost to outright insult. | 104 |
| Matthew Davis | I think that if Hollywood has a problem, it constantly underestimates the intelligence and integrity of fans. | 104 |
| Michael Crapo | It is not government's job to mandate responsibility on our behalf. We have the intelligence and good sense to make wise consumption choices for ourselves and our children. It is up to us to do what is best for our health and our children's health. | 104 |
| Jennifer Nettles | If someone is genuine, compassionate and kind, that is a turn-on. A sense of humor is a huge turn on, and that goes hand in hand with intelligence. | 104 |
| Jane Harman | The Committee's review of a series of intelligence shortcomings, to include intelligence prior to 9/11 and the pre-war intelligence on Iraq, clearly reveal how vital a diverse intelligence workforce is to our national security. | 104 |
| Jacques Maritain | Christianity taught men that love is worth more than intelligence. | 104 |
| John Scarlett | The skills of the British intelligence community are a great national asset. | 104 |
| Albert Einstein | The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination. | 105 |
| Socrates | I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing. | 105 |
| Stephen Hawking | Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change. | 105 |
| Abigail Adams | I've always felt that a person's intelligence is directly reflected by the number of conflicting points of view he can entertain simultaneously on the same topic. | 105 |
| D. H. Lawrence | Sex and beauty are inseparable, like life and consciousness. And the intelligence which goes with sex and beauty, and arises out of sex and beauty, is intuition. | 105 |
| Adam Schiff | The prompt assimilation of that intelligence will be essential if we are to avoid another September 11th. | 105 |
| Daniel Goleman | But once you are in that field, emotional intelligence emerges as a much stronger predictor of who will be most successful, because it is how we handle ourselves in our relationships that determines how well we do once we are in a given job. | 105 |
| Diane Ackerman | Artificial intelligence is growing up fast, as are robots whose facial expressions can elicit empathy and make your mirror neurons quiver. | 105 |
| George Bancroft | The exact measure of the progress of civilization is the degree in which the intelligence of the common mind has prevailed over wealth and brute force. | 105 |
| Henri Bergson | We regard intelligence as man's main characteristic and we know that there is no superiority which intelligence cannot confer on us, no inferiority for which it cannot compensate. | 105 |
| Margaret J. Wheatley | In these troubled, uncertain times, we don't need more command and control; we need better means to engage everyone's intelligence in solving challenges and crises as they arise. | 105 |
| Michael Caine | I'm every bourgeois nightmare - a Cockney with intelligence and a million dollars. | 105 |
| Peter Pace | Intelligence we gathered at the time indicated that this was in fact leadership and we struck the leadership. | 105 |
| Peter Thiel | People don't want to believe that technology is broken. Pharmaceuticals, robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology - all these areas where the progress has been a lot more limited than people think. And the question is why. | 105 |
| Ray Kurzweil | Artificial intelligence will reach human levels by around 2029. Follow that out further to, say, 2045, we will have multiplied the intelligence, the human biological machine intelligence of our civilization a billion-fold. | 105 |
| Thomas Szasz | Clear thinking requires courage rather than intelligence. | 105 |
| William Least Heat-Moon | The negative cost of Lewis and Clark entering the Garden of Eden is that later expeditions regardless of what they were intended to do, later expeditions did not deal with the native peoples with the intelligence with the almost kindly resolve that Lewis and Clark did. | 105 |
| Alex Gibney | The whole macho thing has to be reexamined. Because in my view, the Bush administration was weak, not strong. To engage in a policy of torture is a weak policy. Because ultimately, it encourages the terrorists. It undermines our own values. It corrupts our system. And it doesn't get good intelligence. | 105 |
| Chris Chocola | The PATRIOT Act brought down the wall separating intelligence agencies from law enforcement and other entities charged with protecting the Nation from terrorism. | 105 |
| Edgar Ramirez | I think that, in the end, the military behavior and intelligence services are not very different from each other. It's an attitude of hunters; they're observing the prey. | 105 |
| Gijs de Vries | You can't get closer to the heart of national sovereignty than national security and intelligence services. | 105 |
| Lena Horne | Always be smarter than the people who hire you. | 105 |
| Todd Solondz | The ability to take pleasure in one's life is a skill and is a kind of intelligence. So intelligence is a hard thing to evaluate and it manifests itself in so many different ways. I do think the ability to know how to live a life and not be miserable is a sign of that. | 105 |
| Tony Gilroy | Everyone I know who used to be in the intelligence community is moving into the corporate world. | 105 |
| Wayne Knight | I have this assemblage of small facts, which looks like intelligence but no real depth of knowledge about anything. That's why I'm an actor. | 105 |
| Joseph Pulitzer | An able, disinterested, public-spirited press, with trained intelligence to know the right and courage to do it, can preserve that public virtue without which popular government is a sham and a mockery. | 105 |
| Maurice Saatchi | Advertising must respect the intelligence of its audience and if it does not prompt them to think, it will be instantly dismissed. | 105 |
| Michael Hayden | There is no part of the executive branch that more exists on the outer edge of executive prerogative than the American intelligence community - the intelligence community, CIA, covert action. My literal responsibility as director of CIA with regard to covert action was to inform the Congress - not to seek their approval, to inform. | 105 |
| Paul Bremer | If you look back today over the last 25 years, it is a fact that we have had a progressive degeneration of our intelligence community in general; in particular in the field of human intelligence. | 105 |
| Peter Sotos | If you look at the publishers I've worked with, generally, they're a great bunch. Creation is unlike any other publishing house you can think of. The people I've worked with have integrity and intelligence and, almost always, less money than ideas. | 105 |
| Dennis C. Blair | Nothing is more important to national security and the making and conduct of good policy than timely, accurate, and relevant intelligence. Nothing is more critical to accurate and relevant intelligence than independent analysis. | 105 |
| Jacques Barzun | Schools are not intended to moralize a wicked world, but to impart knowledge and develop intelligence, with only two social aims in mind: prepare to take on one's share in the world's work, and perhaps in addition, lend a hand in improving society, after schooling is done. | 105 |
| Joan Cusack | I take parenting incredibly seriously. I want to be there for my kids and help them navigate the world, and develop skills, emotional intelligence, to enjoy life, and I'm lucky to be able to do that and have two healthy, normal boys. | 105 |
| John O. Brennan | I do not - I never believed it's better to kill a terrorist than to detain him. We want to detain as many terrorists as possible so we can elicit the intelligence from them in the appropriate manner so that we can disrupt follow-on terrorist attacks. | 105 |
| Linda Hunt | I can't be a man. But I can embrace the head of a man, the intelligence of a man, the spirit of a man. | 105 |
| Randy Forbes | Since the tragedies, the Department of Homeland Security was established to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, and most importantly, to share intelligence information among government agencies and departments. | 105 |
| Louis Dudek | In a poem, the words happen; they just come. I let them. Otherwise, I wouldn't write. To interfere with what is happening is to distort the poem. Just a very small degree of intelligence and supervision is necessary. Very tactful. Any revision later that violates the text as it came, that begins rewriting the words, is fake. | 105 |
| Michael Chertoff | We've done it in intelligence sharing and certain elements of security. There were parts of the department, in fact, that worked very well in Katrina, like the Coast Guard and TSA. | 105 |
| Saxby Chambliss | Intelligence is our first line of defense against terrorism, and we must improve the collection capabilities and analysis of intelligence to protect the security of the United States and its allies. | 105 |
| Ted Stevens | I am not opposed to intelligence reform on its face, but any changes should reflect the current context. | 105 |
| Albert Wynn | I think we need to ask serious questions about how we engage militarily, when we engage militarily, and on what basis we engage militarily. What kind of intelligence do we have to justify a military engagement? | 105 |
| Janis Karpinski | Military intelligence interrogators, however, their goal is to get information, to save lives, to stop the war, to find Saddam - whatever the information is going to be used for, at whatever cost. | 105 |
| James Marsters | In Europe they call geeks 'smart people,' and frankly I think we live in a culture that doesn't value intelligence enough; so I am very proud in saying that I am a geek. | 105 |
| John Bradshaw | Evil is a source of moral intelligence in the sense that we need to learn from our shadow, from our dark side, in order to be good. | 105 |
| John Fowles | There are only two races on this planet - the intelligent and the stupid. | 105 |
| John Fiske | We now witness the constructive work on a foundation that will endure through the ages. That foundation is the god of science - revealed to us in terms that will harmonize with our intelligence. | 105 |
| Edgar Allan Poe | Science has not yet taught us if madness is or is not the sublimity of the intelligence. | 106 |
| Ernest Hemingway | An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools. | 106 |
| Henry Ford | Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it. | 106 |
| Stephen Hawking | I believe alien life is quite common in the universe, although intelligent life is less so. Some say it has yet to appear on planet Earth. | 106 |
| William F. Buckley, Jr. | I would like to take you seriously, but to do so would affront your intelligence. | 106 |
| Christopher Lee | Ian Fleming was my cousin, you know. He was in naval intelligence. | 106 |
| Daniel Goleman | The emotional brain responds to an event more quickly than the thinking brain. | 106 |
| Emanuel Swedenborg | The Divine of the Lord in heaven is love, for the reason that love is receptive of all things of heaven, such as peace, intelligence, wisdom and happiness. | 106 |
| Ezra Taft Benson | Husbands, recognize your wife's intelligence and her ability to counsel with you as a real partner regarding family plans, family activities, and family budgeting. Don't be stingy with your time or with your means. Give her the opportunity to grow intellectually, emotionally, and socially as well as spiritually. | 106 |
| Henri Bergson | Instinct perfected is a faculty of using and even constructing organized instruments; intelligence perfected is the faculty of making and using unorganized instruments. | 106 |
| Janis Joplin | Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers. | 106 |
| Leonard Boswell | I am committed to ensure that our intelligence community, law enforcement, medical professionals, and military have the information and funding needed to protect the American people from threats at home and abroad. | 106 |
| Margaret J. Wheatley | Too many problem-solving sessions become battlegrounds where decisions are made based on power rather than intelligence. | 106 |
| Naveen Jain | Humans have always used our intelligence and creativity to improve our existence. After all, we invented the wheel, discovered how to make fire, invented the printing press and found a vaccine for polio. | 106 |
| Oliver Joseph Lodge | The hypothesis of surviving intelligence and personality - not only surviving but anxious and able with difficulty to communicate - is the simplest and most straightforward and the only one that fits all the facts. | 106 |
| Paul Cellucci | I can tell you that the Canadian intelligence and law enforcement agencies have been providing outstanding co-operation with our intelligence and law enforcement agencies as we work together to track down terrorists here in North America and put them out of commission. | 106 |
| Paul Harris | In the clashes between ignorance and intelligence, ignorance is generally the aggressor. | 106 |
| Ray Kurzweil | All different forms of human expression, art, science, are going to become expanded, by expanding our intelligence. | 106 |
| Seth Shostak | The total funding of SETI (the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) in the U.S. is 0.0003 percent of the tax monies spent on health and human services. And it's not even tax money. The SETI Institute's hunt for signals is funded by donations. | 106 |
| Victoria Principal | Oprah is so bright, and her intelligence is so piercing that I don't think anyone who spends a few minutes with her isn't struck by that. | 106 |
| Dan Hill | In Don Mills in the Sixties, nothing comes close to the humiliation of losing an argument. In our weird little creative circle, no one cares who has faster fists, but to lose an argument suggests inferior intelligence. | 106 |
| David Fincher | I think intelligence is totally subjective; it's like sexiness. | 106 |
| Edward Thorndike | From the lowest animals of which we can affirm intelligence up to man this type of intellect is found. | 106 |
| Katherine Boo | There's some way in which we would prefer not to see very clearly the immense gifts and intelligence of some of the people who live in our most abject conditions. Maybe there are some things at work in deciding who gets to be society's winners and who gets to be society's losers that don't have to do with merit. | 106 |
| Nicole Appleton | I find intelligence sexy. I find a sense of humor sexy. I find sensitivity sexy. | 106 |
| Pat Brown | In reality, serial killers are of average intelligence. | 106 |
| Pierre Laval | But the same intelligence compels Germany to practise the same policy. | 106 |
| Sun Yat-sen | One may have broad or narrow talents, but only education renders them useful. Schools set up to train people will develop the intelligence of those who have it and end the stupidity of those who do not, providing a specialty to those who have narrow talent and broad knowledge to those with all-around ability. | 106 |
| Will Cuppy | If an animal does something, we call it instinct; if we do the same thing for the same reason, we call it intelligence. | 106 |
| William Shenstone | The best time to frame an answer to the letters of a friend, is the moment you receive them. Then the warmth of friendship, and the intelligence received, most forcibly cooperate. | 106 |
| Gracie Allen | Smartness runs in my family. When I went to school I was so smart my teacher was in my class for five years. | 106 |
| Lord Mountbatten | Prince Charles is an absolute Mountbatten. The real intelligence in the royal family comes through my parents to Prince Philip and the children. | 106 |
| Carl Levin | When a decision is made to go to war based on intelligence, it is a fateful decision. It has ramifications and impacts way beyond the current months and years. | 106 |
| Curt Weldon | How can faceless bureaucrats in an intelligence agency deny brave soldiers a chance to tell the truth? | 106 |
| Dennis C. Blair | My experience is the White House is not a very good place to coordinate intelligence, much less to integrate it. | 106 |
| James Whistler | I can't tell you if genius is hereditary, because heaven has granted me no offspring. | 106 |
| John O. Brennan | I will not, nor will I ever, publicly divulge sensitive intelligence sources and methods. For when that happens, our national security is endangered and lives can be lost. | 106 |
| Ameen Rihani | Only a well-rounded intellect, a spirit nourished in the eternal sources of intelligence and culture, of justice and wisdom, is a safeguard against both indifference and skepticism. | 106 |
| Bobby Ray Inman | You want to keep intelligence separate from policy. | 106 |
| Christiane Nusslein-Volhard | I think there are profound differences between women and men. In intelligence and creativity, there is no difference, but in what one loves, what one likes, the passions - there are differences. | 106 |
| Clifford D. Simak | Without consciousness and intelligence, the universe would lack meaning. | 106 |
| Don Herold | It takes a lot of things to prove you are smart, but only one thing to prove you are ignorant. | 106 |
| David Hunt | The Homeland Security department doesn't have tasking authority in the intelligence community. They can ask for stuff, but they can't direct anything except inside their bureau. | 106 |
| Richard Shelby | I believe that reforming our intelligence community is one of the most important things that we can do in order to ensure that our country is in fact safer, stronger and wiser. | 106 |
| Jeffrey Jones | I've gotten to go wonderful places, meet interesting and intelligent people, and I started of course in the theatre and continue to work in the theatre where there is some intelligence involved in it. | 106 |
| Jane Harman | We can no longer expect an Intelligence Community that is mostly male and mostly white to be able to monitor and infiltrate suspicious organizations or terrorist groups. | 106 |
| Ida B. Wells | The mob spirit has grown with the increasing intelligence of the Afro-American. | 107 |
| Dick Cheney | It's not just Bin Laden or just those that are involved in the counterterrorism effort. We've gotta cast the net broader than that. But I think it's a - very special tribute that we all owe to the bravery and courage of the men and women in the intelligence and military business who performed so well to finally get it done. | 107 |
| Howard Gardner | I need to add that my work on multiple intelligences received a huge boost in 1995 when Daniel Goleman published his book on emotional intelligence. I am often confused with Dan. Initially, though Dan and I are longtime friends, this confusion irritated me. | 107 |
| Monica Bellucci | Beauty is a gift, just like good health or intelligence. The only thing is not to be proud of being beautiful. Because you didn't do anything - it was given to you. | 107 |
| Ozzy Osbourne | They say military have the so-called 'secret intelligence' - this amount of intelligence must be very secret, since I've never seen any intelligent military person, nor I have seen any sense in the bloody stupid wars. | 107 |
| Peter T. King | We can't gather the intelligence we need to foil future attacks, if we are blindly granting terrorists the right to remain silent. But for some reason, we've already done that - with the terrorist who tried to bring down Flight 253. | 107 |
| Scott Adams | If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions? | 107 |
| Yuri Milner | Facebook is at the forefront. It's the company that can fundamentally change the way information is being exchanged and processed. It can be the basis for artificial intelligence to develop over time. | 107 |
| Bob Graham | I have had national security background, 10 years on the Intelligence Committee, the last two years as chair. | 107 |
| Eliezer Yudkowsky | The purest case of an intelligence explosion would be an Artificial Intelligence rewriting its own source code. The key idea is that if you can improve intelligence even a little, the process accelerates. It's a tipping point. Like trying to balance a pen on one end - as soon as it tilts even a little, it quickly falls the rest of the way. | 107 |
| Gijs de Vries | In intelligence work, there are limits to the amount of information one can share. Confidentiality is essential. | 107 |
| Monica Lewinsky | I think probably the qualities that I look for in a man are somewhat different than they were before I became a public person, but not that much different. I think that, sort of, the element of trust is certainly much bigger for me, but the other things that - the other qualities, intelligence and kindness and sense of humor, those things. | 107 |
| Nick Denton | The idea of harnessing the intelligence of the readership has been lost in the quest for Facebook likes. For many, readers have become synonymous with hateful commenters. It's time for a renewed push to realize some of the original dreams of the web. | 107 |
| Tim Robbins | Most good actors have a huge intelligence about the human condition and a real open heart to different kinds of people and behavior. | 107 |
| Will Cuppy | If a cat does something, we call it instinct; if we do the same thing, for the same reason, we call it intelligence. | 107 |
| Charles Bass | For four years, I listened to stories of intelligence failures, and it wasn't due to incompetence of anyone in the system, but that the system is so arcane. | 107 |
| Claude Chabrol | Stupidity is infinitely more fascinating that intelligence. Intelligence has its limits while stupidity has none. | 107 |
| Comte de Lautreamont | Taste is the fundamental quality which sums up all the other qualities. It is the nec plus ultra of the intelligence. Through this alone is genius the supreme health and balance of all the faculties. | 107 |
| David Ben-Gurion | Thought is a strenuous art - few practice it, and then only at rare times. | 107 |
| Doc Hastings | Since September 11th Congress has created the Department of Homeland Security, more than doubled the homeland security budget and implemented a bipartisan overhaul of our intelligence systems. | 107 |
| Douglas Feith | They have involved co-operation between the Iraqi intelligence and al-Qaeda operatives on training and combined operations regarding bomb making and chemical and biological weapons. | 107 |
| Enrico Caruso | To become a singer requires work, work, and again, work! It need not be in any special corner of the earth; there is no one spot that will do more for you than other places. It doesn't matter so much where you are if you have intelligence and a good ear. | 107 |
| George Tenet | Here's the teaching point, if you're teaching kids about intelligence and policy: Intelligence does not absolve policymakers of responsibility to ask tough questions, and it doesn't absolve them of having curiosity about the consequences of their actions. | 107 |
| John McCarthy | Foolishness is rarely a matter of lack of intelligence or even lack of information. | 107 |
| Robert Sternberg | Well, first of all, we did lots of studies where we show practical intelligence doesn't correlate with G. We have probably two dozen studies that practical intelligence better predicts job success than IQ. | 107 |
| Russell Lynes | Cynicism is the intellectual cripple's substitute for intelligence. | 107 |
| Andrew Eldritch | People have taught me not to look for intelligence in rockmusic. | 107 |
| Marvin Hamlisch | You mustn't underestimate an audience's intelligence. | 107 |
| Saxby Chambliss | The security of the United States, which is so dependent on having accurate and timely intelligence, is not a Republican or a Democratic issue. | 107 |
| Rafik Hariri | I never threatened him and no Syrian intelligence officer has ever pointed a gun to his head. | 107 |
| John Sterling | Instinct is intelligence incapable of self-consciousness. | 107 |
| Jonathan Nolan | Wormholes don't exist because the only way they would exist is if they were seeded with exotic material created by an intelligence far beyond our own. Something would have to make one. | 107 |
| Albert Einstein | The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits. | 108 |
| George S. Patton | If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking. | 108 |
| Thomas A. Edison | Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing. | 108 |
| Catherine Deneuve | A woman has to be intelligent, have charm, a sense of humor, and be kind. It's the same qualities I require from a man. | 108 |
| Daniel Patrick Moynihan | The great corporations of this country were not founded by ordinary people. They were founded by people with extraordinary intelligence, ambition, and aggressiveness. | 108 |
| Louis Pasteur | Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence. | 108 |
| Mikhail Bakunin | I listen to them freely and with all the respect merited by their intelligence, their character, their knowledge, reserving always my incontestable right of criticism and censure. | 108 |
| Oliver Joseph Lodge | In other cases, when the medium becomes entranced, the demonstration of a communicator's separate intelligence may become stronger and the sophistication less. | 108 |
| Paul Cezanne | Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience. | 108 |
| Raymond Holliwell | God does not require you to follow His leadings on blind trust. Behold the evidence of an invisible intelligence pervading everything, even your own mind and body. | 108 |
| Andrea Dworkin | Undernourished, intelligence becomes like the bloated belly of a starving child: swollen, filled with nothing the body can use. | 108 |
| Edward Thorndike | Human folk are as a matter of fact eager to find intelligence in animals. | 108 |
| Gary Gygax | When AI approximates Machine Intelligence, then many online and computer-run RPGs will move towards actual RPG activity. Nonetheless, that will not replace the experience of 'being there,' any more than seeing a theatrical motion picture can replace the stage play. | 108 |
| Kristin Hersh | I've always chosen my band members based on their sense of humor. It might sound stupid, but it means not only are they fun to live with on a tour bus for years, but humor implies intelligence. | 108 |
| Pratibha Patil | Women have talent and intelligence but, due to social constraints and prejudices, it is still a long distance away from the goal of gender equality. | 108 |
| Antony Beevor | The great help of being in the Army is to understand why are the armies clever in what they describe as emotional intelligence, making soldiers come to terms with the death of comrades by certain rituals. | 108 |
| Christine Baranski | Ron Howard is as good a person as you could want to work with on film. He never lost his cool. He's the most easygoing, lovely man, but he's got this enormous intelligence and a wonderful humanity. | 108 |
| Colin Angle | It's going to be interesting to see how society deals with artificial intelligence, but it will definitely be cool. | 108 |
| Edward M. Lerner | It would help if human experts agreed on the meaning of such basic terms as intelligence, consciousness, or awareness. They don't. It's hard to build something that's incompletely defined. | 108 |
| Morris West | If God be God and man a creature made in image of the divine intelligence, his noblest function is the search for truth. | 108 |
| Robert Mueller | In order to be successful against each of these threats, we have to have a presence overseas, work closely not only with our counterparts in the law enforcement community, but also with the intelligence community. | 108 |
| Tom Chatfield | Forget artificial intelligence - in the brave new world of big data, it's artificial idiocy we should be looking out for. | 108 |
| Charles McCarry | I've always been baffled by critics of the CIA, who are horrified that it does illegal things. That is the purpose of an intelligence service: to perform illegal acts. | 108 |
| Jim Sensenbrenner | Terrorists continue to exploit divisions between law enforcement and the intelligence communities that limit the sharing of vital counterterrorism information. | 108 |
| John Major | Well, I think there's a distinction between sexing-up the intelligence and sexing-up the presentation of the intelligence. | 108 |
| Lawrence Hargrave | It becomes a giant's task to compute the result when the effect of cross seas, wind at all angles and ever varying force, arched surfaces, head resistance, ratio of weight to area, and the intelligence of the guiding power crop up. | 108 |
| Raymond Kelly | You have multiple intelligence agencies. They all ultimately report to the director of national intelligence but, you know, it never comes in neat packages. So you have to make judgments on what you have, and it's not easy to do. | 108 |
| Tom Heinsohn | I try to put all I am as a person into what I do. My intelligence, my emotion. I've done that in everything. | 108 |
| Barbara Grizzuti Harrison | Kindness and intelligence don't always deliver us from the pitfalls and traps: there are always failures of love, of will, of imagination. There is no way to take the danger out of human relationships. | 108 |
| Alex Grey | I use a lot of different words for God - infinite intelligence, primordial, perfection or universal creativity. All of these, to me, are God. And 'God' is a word, I think, that some people feel uncomfortable with, so they can use another word, you know? It's the great mystery. | 108 |
| Jonathan Nolan | I'm fascinated by artificial intelligence. | 108 |
| Aristotle | There is no great genius without some touch of madness. | 109 |
| Franklin D. Roosevelt | I'm not the smartest fellow in the world, but I can sure pick smart colleagues. | 109 |
| George Orwell | We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. | 109 |
| Frank Langella | Intelligence is enormously sexy. | 109 |
| Jean Baudrillard | The sad thing about artificial intelligence is that it lacks artifice and therefore intelligence. | 109 |
| Nigel Hamilton | We've sweated and torn out our hair trying to reconstruct our chosen lives, to fashion them like literary sculptures, at once monumental and yet human. We've applied all of our intelligence, our empathy, our critical faculties, our compassion - and we think, in our delusion, that it's still 1960, and our work is going to get noticed. | 109 |
| Timothy Leary | The universe is an intelligence test. | 109 |
| Eliezer Yudkowsky | I keep trying to explain to people that the archetype of intelligence is not Dustin Hoffman in 'The Rain Man;' it is a human being, period. It is squishy things that explode in a vacuum, leaving footprints on their moon. | 109 |
| Frank Carlucci | Intelligence is not a science. | 109 |
| Jamais Cascio | Intelligence augmentation decreases the need for specialization and increases participatory complexity. | 109 |
| Kathleen Troia McFarland | The president doesn't order the military to seize political opponents. He doesn't order his intelligence community to lie about national security for political purposes. He uses the military or intelligence communities to protect the United States and our citizens, not to help him win elections. | 109 |
| Lee H. Hamilton | You'll remember Dr. Rice said that several times: It was not a warning about the place and the method and the time - it was a general warning. And that points out the imperfection, if you would, of our intelligence. | 109 |
| Roberto Cavalli | I really admire a woman for her intelligence, her personality. Beauty is not enough. | 109 |
| Stacy Schiff | For the several thousands of years before they became firefighters and physicians, women were sirens, enchantresses, snares. At times it seems as if female powerlessness is male self-preservation in disguise. And for millennia, this has made for a zero-sum game: A woman's intelligence was a man's deception. | 109 |
| Michael Hayden | When asked if I miss being in government, I usually try to lighten the moment by responding that I awake most days, read the paper, and then observe that, 'It's yet another great day to be the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency.' | 109 |
| Steven Moffat | I can't see what's wrong about assuming intelligence in your audience and what's bad news about being rewarded for assuming that. | 109 |
| John Pistole | The reason we are doing these types of pat downs and using the advanced imagery technology is trying to take the latest intelligence and how we know al Qaeda and affiliates want to hurt us, they want to bring down whether it is passenger air craft or cargo aircraft. | 109 |
| Randa Abdel-Fattah | The hijab, or sikh turban, or Jewish skullcap are all explicit symbols, but they do not represent a threat or affront to others, and have no bearing on the competence, skills and intelligence of a person. | 109 |
| Jon Porter | The Patriot Act removed major legal barriers that prevented the law enforcement, intelligence, and national defense communities from talking and coordinating their work to protect the American people and our national security. | 109 |
| Millard Drexler | What matters is hard work, and emotional intelligence. | 109 |
| Morarji Desai | I do not want to go into its physical reasons: the construction of the human body is different from that of carnivorous animals. But man's intelligence is such that it can be utilised to defend any-thing he does, whether right or wrong. | 109 |
| Jill Tarter | We don't know how to identify intelligence over interstellar distances, so what we do instead is use technology for a proxy. | 109 |
| Janis Karpinski | In November, they transferred control of Abu Ghraib to the military intelligence command completely; it was, after all, the center for interrogations for Iraq. | 109 |
| Blaise Pascal | Small minds are concerned with the extraordinary, great minds with the ordinary. | 110 |
| Carl Jung | Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain. | 110 |
| E. Stanley Jones | Our intentions may be very good, but, because the intelligence is limited, the action may turn out to be a mistake - a mistake, but not necessarily a sin, for sin comes out of a wrong intention. | 110 |
| Ian Mcewan | True intelligence requires fabulous imagination. | 110 |
| Kurt Angle | Pro wrestling is not fake; it's sports entertainment. We go out there and we perform, and a lot of what we do out there is real, but we're not going to insult anyone's intelligence - there is a predetermined winner. It's just the fans don't know who it is, and that's what makes it so intriguing. | 110 |
| Phaedrus | The intelligence of few perceives what has been carefully hidden in the recesses of the mind. | 110 |
| Rose Kennedy | I tell myself that God gave my children many gifts - spirit, beauty, intelligence, the capacity to make friends and to inspire respect. There was only one gift he held back - length of life. | 110 |
| Steve Wozniak | Wherever smart people work, doors are unlocked. | 110 |
| Wale | Not to sound corny, but intelligence is big. Everything fades, and everything can be modified. But intelligence is something you can't fake. I'm not even talking about whether you can read a thesaurus backwards. But there is a beauty in common sense. | 110 |
| Antony Gormley | There is no question that creative intelligence comes not through learning things you find in books or histories that have already been written, but by focusing on and giving value to experience as it happens. | 110 |
| David Kay | The Germans certainly - the intelligence service believed that there were WMD. It turns out that we were all wrong, probably in my judgment, and that is most disturbing. | 110 |
| Ferdinand Mount | According to Richard Clarke, the former White House counterterrorism chief, Bush was so obsessed with Iraq that he failed to take action against Osama Bin Laden despite repeated warnings from his intelligence experts. | 110 |
| James Dobson | There is no greater privilege in living than bringing a tiny new human being into the world and then trying to raise him or her properly during the next eighteen years. Doing that job right requires all the intelligence, wisdom, and determination you will be able to muster from day to day. | 110 |
| Jim Ramstad | Our intelligence community needs better coordination of operations and exchange of information, and that's why we need an overall director of national intelligence and a national counterterrorism center. | 110 |
| Martin McGuinness | The fact is that a car used by Gerry Adams and myself during the course of the Mitchell review was bugged by elements within British military intelligence. | 110 |
| Rick Perlstein | Reagan's emotional intelligence, his ability to suss out people's longings and to channel them for political purposes, was better than just about any human being that ever lived. | 110 |
| Terry Sanford | We are tired of having our integrity impugned. We are tired of having our sincerity questioned. We are tired of having our intelligence insulted. | 110 |
| James Comey | The FBI has built up substantial expertise to address cyber threats, both in the homeland and overseas. Here at home, the FBI serves as the executive agent for the National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force (NCIJTF), which joins together 19 intelligence, law enforcement, and military agencies to coordinate cyber threat investigations. | 110 |
| Michael Hayden | When I was at the CIA I asked my civilian advisory board to tackle some tough questions. Among the toughest: In a political culture that every day demands more transparency and more public accountability from every aspect of national life, could American intelligence continue to survive and succeed? That jury is still out. | 110 |
| Prince Andrew | The Queen's intelligence network is a hell of a lot better than anyone's in this palace. Bar none. She knows everything. I don't know how she does it. And she sees everything. | 110 |
| Alistair Cooke | Curiosity is free-wheeling intelligence. | 110 |
| George Tenet | As a nation we have, over the past seven years, been rebuilding our intelligence with powerful capabilities that many thought we would no longer need after the Cold War. We have been rebuilding our clandestine service, our satellite and other technical collection, our analytical depth and expertise. | 110 |
| Louis Freeh | And I understand that, I testified in closed hearings over eight years because there are intelligence matters, there are sensitive matters that should not be held in a public hearing. | 110 |
| Raymond Kelly | For some, the very act of intelligence gathering seems illegitimate when applied to the crime of terrorism. | 110 |
| John Mica | We're not trying to harass the average American. We need to convert this now to a risk-based system, with TSA concentrating and focusing on intelligence, on security, setting up again the parameters of which we do this. | 110 |
| Janis Karpinski | The day after the prison was transferred to the military intelligence command, they had an entire battalion - 1,200, 1,500 soldiers - arrive at Abu Ghraib just for force protection alone. | 110 |
| Jerry Cantrell | Rehearsals and this band are two words that don't really go together, kinda like Military Intelligence. | 110 |
| Arthur Schopenhauer | Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see. | 111 |
| F. Scott Fitzgerald | The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. | 111 |
| Niccolo Machiavelli | The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him. | 111 |
| Christopher Columbus | For the execution of the voyage to the Indies, I did not make use of intelligence, mathematics or maps. | 111 |
| Bryant H. McGill | An intelligent person is never afraid or ashamed to find errors in his understanding of things. | 111 |
| Charles Kennedy | The way to defeat international terrorism is through international cooperation based on international law, clear intelligence, and a measured and appropriate military response. | 111 |
| Henry Van Dyke | Genius is talent set on fire by courage. | 111 |
| Oriana Fallaci | Alas, nothing reveals man the way war does. Nothing so accentuates in him the beauty and ugliness, the intelligence and foolishness, the brutishness and humanity, the courage and cowardice, the enigma. | 111 |
| Ray Kurzweil | I'm working on artificial intelligence. Actually, natural language understanding, which is to get computers to understand the meaning of documents. | 111 |
| Susan Sontag | Intelligence is really a kind of taste: taste in ideas. | 111 |
| Tom Robbins | If little else, the brain is an educational toy. | 111 |
| Charles Evans Hughes | Dissents are appeals to the brooding spirit of the law, to the intelligence of another day. | 111 |
| Chip Conley | Daniel Goleman has proven that two-thirds of the success in business is based upon our Emotional Intelligence as opposed to our IQ or our level of experience. As we look for the next crop of future CEOs, maybe it's time for America's corporations to start interviewing grads from the psychology master's programs rather than the M.B.A. programs. | 111 |
| Elizabeth Hurley | I've always wanted to be a spy, and frankly I'm a little surprised that British intelligence has never approached me. | 111 |
| George William Curtis | Reputation is favorable notoriety as distinguished from fame, which is permanent approval of great deeds and noble thoughts by the best intelligence of mankind. | 111 |
| John Sherman Cooper | The intelligence investigation under the leadership of Senator Church, which I know has helped cause this investigation by you, points out that the agencies did not disclose certain facts to us and that certain plots were going on. | 111 |
| Karlheinz Stockhausen | And when they encounter works of art which show that using new media can lead to new experiences and to new consciousness, and expand our senses, our perception, our intelligence, our sensibility, then they will become interested in this music. | 111 |
| Keith Henson | The rare person is still interested in new advances when they are adults. There is possibly a correlation with intelligence. In any case, you have to be fairly bright to keep learning and changing attitudes as you get older. | 111 |
| Kevin Kelly | An organization's intelligence is distributed to the point of being ubiquitous. | 111 |
| Michael Scheuer | One of the great intellectual failures of the American intelligence community, and especially the counterterrorism community, is to assume if someone hasn't attacked us, it's because he can't or because we've defeated him. | 111 |
| E. F. Benson | All the teaching I had ever received had failed to make me apply such intelligence as I was possessed of, directly and vividly: there had never been any sunshine, as regards language, in the earlier grey days of learning, for the sky had always pelted with gerunds and optatives. | 111 |
| Marya Mannes | In our society those who are in reality superior in intelligence can be accepted by their fellows only if they pretend they are not. | 111 |
| Tanith Lee | If they had said my writing wasn't good enough, fair enough, that's an opinion. But to say it's too complex is to insult the intelligence of the so-called young. | 111 |
| Danny Aiello | People have an image of Italians. When I go somewhere in the world, I don't care where it is, when they look at me it's not about my intelligence. It's who can I beat up. | 111 |
| Dennis C. Blair | All officers of the Intelligence Community, and especially its most senior officer, must conduct themselves in a manner that earns and retains the public trust. The American people are uncomfortable with government activities that do not take place in the open, subject to public scrutiny and review. | 111 |
| John O. Brennan | The actions that we take on the counterterrorism front, again, are to take actions against individuals where we believe that the intelligence base is so strong and the nature of the threat is so grave and serious, as well as imminent, that we have no recourse except to take this action that may involve a lethal strike. | 111 |
| Tony Goldwyn | I feel audiences are not given enough credit for their intelligence. | 111 |
| Voltaire | Common sense is not so common. | 112 |
| Ray Bradbury | If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down. | 112 |
| Samuel Goldwyn | Give me a smart idiot over a stupid genius any day. | 112 |
| Theodore White | Quality in a classical Greek sense is how to live with grace and intelligence, with bravery and mercy. | 112 |
| Yuri Milner | There is huge demand for artificial intelligence technologies. | 112 |
| Bob Graham | This president has been reluctant to hold anybody accountable. No one was held accountable after September the 11th. Nobody's been held accountable after the clear flaws in intelligence leading up to the war in Iraq. | 112 |
| Eliezer Yudkowsky | There's a popular concept of 'intelligence' as book smarts, like calculus or chess, as opposed to, say, social skills. So people say that 'it takes more than intelligence to succeed in human society.' But social skills reside in the brain, not the kidneys. | 112 |
| Federica Montseny | In Spain, we should have enough intelligence, enough sense of individual and collective responsibility to do for ourselves that which would be imposed upon us by a dictatorship. | 112 |
| Gloria Naylor | The intelligence community, for the most part, has no accountability at all; to the Congress, to us the American people, and so they feel that they above the law. | 112 |
| John le Carre | It's part of a writer's profession, as it's part of a spy's profession, to prey on the community to which he's attached, to take away information - often in secret - and to translate that into intelligence for his masters, whether it's his readership or his spy masters. And I think that both professions are perhaps rather lonely. | 112 |
| Michael Scheuer | I'm much better informed than Mr. Clarke ever was about the nature of the intelligence that was available again Osama bin Laden and which was consistently denigrated by himself and Mr. Tenet. | 112 |
| Portia de Rossi | I want to exude strength and intelligence. | 112 |
| Remy de Gourmont | Man has made use of his intelligence, he invented stupidity. | 112 |
| Warren Christopher | I don't want to talk about intelligence matters. I will say, however, that intelligence-community estimates should not become public in the way of this city and in the way of Congress. | 112 |
| Andrew Greeley | Would it not be much better to have a president who deliberately lied to the people because he thought a war was essential than to have one who was so dumb as to be taken in by intelligence agencies, especially those who told him what he wanted to hear? | 112 |
| John Darnielle | Your intelligence doesn't override your desire to destroy yourself. | 112 |
| Judd Nelson | Remember to be as smart as you are. | 112 |
| John Mackey | I think for leadership positions, emotional intelligence is more important than cognitive intelligence. People with emotional intelligence usually have a lot of cognitive intelligence, but that's not always true the other way around. | 112 |
| Carl Levin | The intelligence failures with respect to Iraq were massive and have damaged our credibility around the world. | 112 |
| Charles McCarry | Richard M. Helms, the first director of Central Intelligence to rise from the ranks, was fond of saying that the CIA had been founded to make sure that there would never be another Pearl Harbor. Underlying this mission impossible was the wishful supposition that an America that knew everything could prevent anything. | 112 |
| Clare Short | I mean enormous pressure was brought to bear - Valerie Amos, Lady Amos, went round Africa with people from our intelligence services trying to press them. I had to make sure that we didn't promise a misuse of aid in a way that would be illegal. | 112 |
| Mikko Hypponen | It's high time for a fresh European alternative to enter the market, taking the existing Internet behemoths head on. What the world needs now is a cloud storage service that is not subject to uncontrolled access by intelligence agencies. | 112 |
| April Gornik | The measure of and self-congratulation for our own intelligence should have its basis in our moral behavior as well as our smarts. | 112 |
| James G. Stavridis | Thinklogical's systems play a key role in the delivery and visualization of mission critical data used every day by military and intelligence communities worldwide. | 112 |
| Winston Churchill | Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential. | 113 |
| Charles Bukowski | Genius might be the ability to say a profound thing in a simple way. | 113 |
| Alfred North Whitehead | It takes an extraordinary intelligence to contemplate the obvious. | 113 |
| Frank Rich | Someday we'll learn the whole story of why George W. Bush brushed off that intelligence briefing of Aug. 6, 2001, 'Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.' But surely a big distraction was the major speech he was readying for delivery on Aug. 9, his first prime-time address to the nation. | 113 |
| Giacomo Casanova | I have met with some of them - very honest fellows, who, with all their stupidity, had a kind of intelligence and an upright good sense, which cannot be the characteristics of fools. | 113 |
| John Calvin | There is no worse screen to block out the Spirit than confidence in our own intelligence. | 113 |
| Josh Billings | Genius ain't anything more than elegant common sense. | 113 |
| Paul Watson | I have been honoured to serve the whales, dolphins, seals - and all the other creatures on this Earth. Their beauty, intelligence, strength, and spirit have inspired me. | 113 |
| Eliezer Yudkowsky | When you think of intelligence, don't think of a college professor; think of human beings as opposed to chimpanzees. If you don't have human intelligence, you're not even in the game. | 113 |
| Jim Ramstad | I strongly support the call to greatly expand our human intelligence capability to penetrate al Qaeda and gather critical intelligence to prevent terrorist attacks on our homeland. | 113 |
| Norman McLaren | But it has, in addition, an even more precious quality - a consciousness of the human intelligence, the human spirit and that man is a social creature. | 113 |
| Peter Landesman | My personal sources in the intelligence community and the military are very good. They're excellent. I have very high-up, in-depth sources. | 113 |
| Rebecca West | There is no logical reason why the camel of great art should pass through the needle of mob intelligence. | 113 |
| Tariq Ramadan | Cultures are never merely intellectual constructs. They take form through the collective intelligence and memory, through a commonly held psychology and emotions, through spiritual and artistic communion. | 113 |
| Robyn Hitchcock | People's intelligence tends to be in inverse proportion to their number. People don't tend to get smarter as they get into bigger groups. | 113 |
| Cathleen Schine | 'Emma' is my favorite Jane Austen novel - one of my favorite novels period; a novel about intelligence outsmarting itself, about a complicated, nuanced, irresistible heroine who does everything wrong. | 113 |
| Dennis C. Blair | Before 9/11 there were weak procedures, willingness, and mechanisms for communicating among agencies for foreign intelligence and the FBI with its focus on law enforcement. The domestic-vs.-foreign barrier has been solved by the reforms after 9/11 that established the DNI. | 113 |
| Mikko Hypponen | The United States has an unfair advantage, as most of the popular cloud services, search engines, computer and mobile operating systems or web browsers are made by U.S. companies. When the rest of the world uses the net, they are effectively using U.S.-based services, making them a legal target for U.S. intelligence. | 113 |
| Charles Williams | Job plunges into a series of demands on and accusations of God which may be and indeed are epigrams of high intelligence, but are not noticeably patient. | 113 |
| Salman Khurshid | We are not a country that subscribes to policing any part of the world. The areas we are comfortable with are capacity building, intelligence sharing, exchange of ships, call on each other's ports, joint training and exercises. | 113 |
| Bertrand Russell | We are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought. | 114 |
| Woodrow Wilson | I not only use all the brains that I have, but all that I can borrow. | 114 |
| Jeff Sessions | I certainly believe that improving our intelligence is of important national interest. | 114 |
| Agatha Christie | These little grey cells. It is up to them. | 114 |
| Brian Eno | Democracy is a daring concept - a hope that we'll be best governed if all of us participate in the act of government. It is meant to be a conversation, a place where the intelligence and local knowledge of the electorate sums together to arrive at actions that reflect the participation of the largest possible number of people. | 114 |
| David Ignatius | Sometimes James Bond movies drive me crazy. They're fun to watch, but they don't have anything to do at all with what intelligence officers really do. | 114 |
| E. B. White | Genius is more often found in a cracked pot than in a whole one. | 114 |
| Henri Frederic Amiel | Man becomes man only by his intelligence, but he is man only by his heart. | 114 |
| James Allen | Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power, intelligence, and love, and the lord of his own thoughts, he holds the key to every situation. | 114 |
| Leon Panetta | You know, as director of the CIA, I got an awful lot of intelligence about all the horrible things that could go on across the world. | 114 |
| Seth Shostak | The thing to keep in mind is that we're still in the very early days when it comes to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Saying there's a silence is a bit like if Columbus, looking to discover a new continent, only sailed 10 miles off the coast of Spain before turning back to say, 'Nothing out there!' | 114 |
| Willa Cather | All the intelligence and talent in the world can't make a singer. The voice is a wild thing. It can't be bred in captivity. It is a sport, like the silver fox. It happens. | 114 |
| Frank Carlucci | Policymakers have to make judgments based on the best intelligence they get. | 114 |
| John Berger | Being a unique superpower undermines the military intelligence of strategy. To think strategically, one has to imagine oneself in the enemy's place. If one cannot do this, it is impossible to foresee, to take by surprise, to outflank. Misinterpreting an enemy can lead to defeat. This is how empires fall. | 114 |
| Michael Shermer | The case for exploiting animals for food, clothing and entertainment often relies on our superior intelligence, language and self-awareness: the rights of the superior being trump those of the inferior. | 114 |
| Robert Mueller | There'll be differences of opinion in just about every intelligence analysis that you make. | 114 |
| Ron Silver | But some actors I have met possess an intelligence that I can only dream of. It's about character, it's about behavior. They understand things about people that I simply don't see. | 114 |
| Studs Terkel | I've always felt, in all my books, that there's a deep decency in the American people and a native intelligence - providing they have the facts, providing they have the information. | 114 |
| Stephen Cambone | Over the course of two years, we arrived at a point where we began to look at the value added by making information more easily accessible across the intelligence community, both defense and national. | 114 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | Let's say intelligence is your ability to compose poetry, symphonies, do art, math and science. Chimps can't do any of that, yet we share 99 percent DNA. Everything that we are, that distinguishes us from chimps, emerges from that one-percent difference. | 115 |
| Arthur Conan Doyle | My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation. | 115 |
| Edward de Bono | Many highly intelligent people are poor thinkers. Many people of average intelligence are skilled thinkers. The power of a car is separate from the way the car is driven. | 115 |
| Jacques Yves Cousteau | No sooner does man discover intelligence than he tries to involve it in his own stupidity. | 115 |
| Paul Harris | The higher the general average of intelligence, all things else being equal, the less the disposition to be meddlesome, critical, and overbearing. | 115 |
| Shakira | I thank God that I'm a product of my parents. That they infected me with their intelligence and energy for life, with their thirst for knowledge and their love. I'm grateful that I know where I come from. | 115 |
| Damon Albarn | The Gorillaz cartoons seem more real to me than the actual people on TV. Because at least you know that there's some intelligence behind the cartoons, and there's a lot of work that's gone into it, so it can't all be just a lie. | 115 |
| Leonard Susskind | I'm not going to argue with people about the existence of God. I have not the vaguest idea of whether the universe was created by an intelligence. | 115 |
| Lynn Margulis | Despite our very recent appearance on the planet, humanity combines arrogance with increasing material demands, even as we become more numerous. Our toughness is a delusion. Have we the intelligence and discipline to vigilantly guard against our tendency to grow without limit? | 115 |
| Bryan Fuller | With land-roaming animals, I've just read so much about the sophistication of their emotional lives and their intelligence and the way they process information that betrays a greater intelligence. | 115 |
| John O. Brennan | We will use all lawful tools at our disposal, and that includes authorities under the renewed PATRIOT Act. We firmly believe that our intelligence gathering tools must enable us to collect the information we need to protect the American people. | 115 |
| Richard Ben-Veniste | Well, our position, and our chairman has talked about this extensively, is that we had a lot of intelligence prior to 9/11. We knew that two al Qaeda operatives who ultimately participated in the 9/11 disaster were in the United States. We didn't find them. | 115 |
| H. L. Mencken | Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. | 116 |
| Sun Tzu | It is only the enlightened ruler and the wise general who will use the highest intelligence of the army for the purposes of spying, and thereby they achieve great results. | 116 |
| Albert Camus | An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself. | 116 |
| Sigmund Freud | What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult. | 116 |
| Harold Pinter | I don't intend to simply go away and write my plays and be a good boy. I intend to remain an independent and political intelligence in my own right. | 116 |
| Herman Hesse | Our mind is capable of passing beyond the dividing line we have drawn for it. Beyond the pairs of opposites of which the world consists, other, new insights begin. | 116 |
| Jules Verne | Nothing is more dreadful than private duels in America. The two adversaries attack each other like wild beasts. Then it is that they might well covet those wonderful properties of the Indians of the prairies - their quick intelligence, their ingenious cunning, their scent of the enemy. | 116 |
| Lewis Mumford | One of the functions of intelligence is to take account of the dangers that come from trusting solely to the intelligence. | 116 |
| Ray Kurzweil | By the 2030s, the nonbiological portion of our intelligence will predominate. | 116 |
| Seth Shostak | Clearly, unless thinking beings inevitably wipe themselves out soon after developing technology, extraterrestrial intelligence could often be millions or billions of years in advance of us. We're the galaxy's noodling newbies. | 116 |
| Spike Jonze | Is artificial intelligence less than our intelligence? | 116 |
| Caleb Cushing | Here, again, as I conceive, gentlemen forget that this government is a republican one, resting exclusively in the intelligence and virtue of the People. | 116 |
| Gary Wolf | As a science fiction fan, I had always assumed that when computers supplemented our intelligence, it would be because we outsourced some of our memory to them. We would ask questions, and our machines would give oracular - or supremely practical - replies. | 116 |
| Jim Parsons | I think intelligence is usually sexy until it becomes irritating. After that, you're stuck. | 116 |
| Lactantius | There is no one, who possesses intelligence and uses reflection, who does not understand that it is one Being who both created all things and governs them with the same energy by which He created them. | 116 |
| Michael Hayden | An intelligence analyst may attribute an attack to al Qaeda, whereas a policy maker could opt for the more general 'extremist.' | 116 |
| Curt Weldon | Louis Freeh said on national TV that actionable intelligence could have allowed us to stop the hijackings. | 116 |
| Simon Conway Morris | I would argue that in any habitable zone that doesn't boil or freeze, intelligent life is going to emerge because intelligence is convergent. | 116 |
| Stephen Cambone | One is to ensure that the war fighters and the intelligence analysts get the information that they need when they need it, in a format that's useful to them. | 116 |
| Carl Sagan | The brain is like a muscle. When it is in use we feel very good. Understanding is joyous. | 117 |
| Arnold J. Toynbee | To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization. | 117 |
| Arthur C. Clarke | It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value. | 117 |
| Dianne Feinstein | We have no regulation of drones in the United States in their commercial use. You can see drones some day hovering over the homes of Hollywood luminaries, violating privacy. This question has to be addressed. And we need rules of operation on the border, by police, by commercial use, and also by military and intelligence use. | 117 |
| Harold Pinter | I never think of myself as wise. I think of myself as possessing a critical intelligence which I intend to allow to operate. | 117 |
| Robert Anton Wilson | Belief is the death of intelligence. | 117 |
| Vernor Vinge | But every time our ability to access information and to communicate it to others is improved, in some sense we have achieved an increase over natural intelligence. | 117 |
| Walter Lippmann | The private citizen, beset by partisan appeals for the loan of his Public Opinion, will soon see, perhaps, that these appeals are not a compliment to his intelligence, but an imposition on his good nature and an insult to his sense of evidence. | 117 |
| Washington Irving | After all, it is the divinity within that makes the divinity without; and I have been more fascinated by a woman of talent and intelligence, though deficient in personal charms, than I have been by the most regular beauty. | 117 |
| William Ellery Channing | God is another name for human intelligence raised above all error and imperfection, and extended to all possible truth. | 117 |
| Bob Graham | We ought to recognize that we have an offensive responsibility to take the war to the terrorists where they are. That responsibility has waned in the last year as military and intelligence resources were withdrawn from Afghanistan and Pakistan to be used in Iraq. | 117 |
| Chris Chocola | Legislation passed in the aftermath of September 11, 2001 enhanced our intelligence capabilities and strengthened our national defense, but until now our nation's immigration policies have not adapted to the needs of a post-September 11th world. | 117 |
| K. A. Applegate | That penetrating gaze, that intelligence; it's hard not to be anthropomorphic when you're looking at a great ape - at any primate - but especially with gorillas. They're just so magnificent. | 117 |
| Mike Mills | I think that animals aren't less intelligent than humans, they're just of a different intelligence. We have five million smell-sensitive cells in our nose, they have two hundred and fifty million - they can smell emotion. They can smell different types of emotion, they just have another type of intelligence. | 117 |
| Robert M. Gates | When I was the director of Central Intelligence in the early '90s, I tried to get the Air Force to partner with us in building drones. And they didn't want to, because they had no pilots. | 117 |
| Carl Levin | Dr. Rice's record on Iraq gives me great concern. In her public statements she clearly overstated and exaggerated the intelligence concerning Iraq before the war in order to support the President's decision to initiate military action against Iraq. | 117 |
| Adolfo Aguilar Zinser | Servants are not allowed to ask questions. They are only supposed to follow orders. That attitude has to change. But in order for it to change, there has to be radical improvement in the quality of the intelligence produced by the Mexican government. | 117 |
| Manika | The number one thing I look for is personality. For me, the personality of someone makes them more and more attractive over time ... and for those with bad personalities, less and less attractive. I look for honesty, intelligence, kindness, and a good work ethic, to name a few. | 117 |
| Annie Besant | Quick condemnation of all that is not ours, of views with which we disagree, of ideas that do not attract us, is the sign of a narrow mind, of an uncultivated intelligence. Bigotry is always ignorant, and the wise boy, who will become the wise man, tries to understand and to see the truth in ideas with which he does not agree. | 118 |
| Bertolt Brecht | Intelligence is not to make no mistakes, but quickly to see how to make them good. | 118 |
| Daniel Goleman | Empathy and social skills are social intelligence, the interpersonal part of emotional intelligence. That's why they look alike. | 118 |
| Friedrich Schiller | Every true genius is bound to be naive. | 118 |
| Giordano Bruno | It is proper that noble spirits, equipped with truth and enlightened with the Divine intelligence, should arm themselves against dense ignorance by climbing up to the high rock and tower of contemplation. | 118 |
| James Russell Lowell | To educate the intelligence is to expand the horizon of its wants and desires. | 118 |
| Larry Ellison | Bill Gates wants people to think he's Edison, when he's really Rockefeller. Referring to Gates as the smartest man in America isn't right... wealth isn't the same thing as intelligence. | 118 |
| Vernor Vinge | I am suggesting that we recognize that in network and interface research there is something as profound (and potential wild) as Artificial Intelligence. | 118 |
| Alan Moore | Don't leave home without your sword - your intellect. | 118 |
| Grover Cleveland | A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence, the morality, the justice, and the interest of the people themselves. | 118 |
| Joel Kinnaman | There's a lot of neuroscience now raising the question, 'Is all the intelligence in the human body in the brain?', and they're finding out that, no, it's not like that. The body has intelligence itself, and we're much more of an organic creature in that way. | 118 |
| Charles McCarry | I've consciously tried not to romanticize anything, especially not intelligence work. I've always said that I've been writing a series of episodic, naturalistic novels. The people just happen to be spies, politicians, civil servants. | 118 |
| Mikko Hypponen | Stuxnet, Duqu and Flame are not normal, everyday malware, of course. All three of them were most likely developed by a Western intelligence agency as part of covert operations that weren't meant to be discovered. The fact that the malware evaded detection proves how well the attackers did their job. | 118 |
| Aldous Huxley | Children are remarkable for their intelligence and ardor, for their curiosity, their intolerance of shams, the clarity and ruthlessness of their vision. | 119 |
| e. e. cummings | Humanity I love you because when you're hard up you pawn your intelligence to buy a drink. | 119 |
| Henry Wadsworth Longfellow | Intelligence and courtesy not always are combined; Often in a wooden house a golden room we find. | 119 |
| Alfred North Whitehead | Intelligence is quickness to apprehend as distinct form ability, which is capacity to act wisely on the thing apprehended. | 119 |
| Lee Daniels | Here's the thing: I think the media underestimates the intelligence of the moviegoer. We need to be fulfilled. People want to sit down and think, and I try to make people think. | 119 |
| Leon Panetta | Well look, CIA is an agency that has to collect intelligence, do operations. We have to take risks and it's important that we take risks and that we know that we have the support of the government and we have the support of the American people in what we're doing. | 119 |
| Leonard Boswell | The National Intelligence Director needs the authority to do the job we are asking him to do. That means power over the intelligence budget. And to be effective, to be allowed to do his or her job, they must have authority over the budget. | 119 |
| Tom Wolfe | Nerds... the 'nerd' has never been precisely defined, thanks to the psychological complexity of the creature. The word has connotations of some level of intelligence. The typical nerd is a male with intelligence but no sense of giving it a manly face. | 119 |
| Zhang Zhidong | There never yet has been a country which became powerful without knowledge. A man by his own strength alone cannot successfully combat a tiger, but by his intelligence, he can devise means to entrap him. | 119 |
| Andre Maurois | People are what you make them. A scornful look turns into a complete fool a man of average intelligence. A contemptuous indifference turns into an enemy a woman who, well treated, might have been an angel. | 119 |
| Bob Graham | During the Cold War, we gathered information by listening to the Soviets, taking pictures of the Soviets, and we allowed our human intelligence to decline. | 119 |
| Chris Tucker | It takes intelligence to make real comedy, and it takes a reality base to create all that little stuff I like to do that makes you giggle inside. | 119 |
| Eliezer Yudkowsky | Intelligence is the source of technology. If we can use technology to improve intelligence, that closes the loop and potentially creates a positive feedback cycle. | 119 |
| Emile Zola | Up to this day, there has been no proof of the existence of any intelligence other than the human. | 119 |
| Jose Mourinho | Football is a game about feelings and intelligence. | 119 |
| Blanche Lincoln | Improving our national intelligence capabilities should remain a top priority and a continual process. | 119 |
| Ben Schwartz | A lot of the time, you're supposed to play to the top of your intelligence, as truthful as possible. But when you're on stage making people laugh, you're still acting. I think it helped me a bunch to go on stage two or three times a week. | 119 |
| Stephen Cambone | But by providing the background picture - the universal situational awareness that we desire - by showing the anomalies, the Space-Based Radar will change the nature of how we do our analysis and our intelligence. | 119 |
| Jon Huntsman, Sr. | I found that, academically, it really didn't matter whether I had received a certain grade in a class; it didn't matter too much what schools I wanted to attend... What matters is one's drive, one's intelligence. | 119 |
| John Steinbeck | It has always been my private conviction that any man who puts his intelligence up against a fish and loses had it coming. | 120 |
| David Ignatius | Intelligence services exist to do things that are illegal abroad. They exist to tell lies. | 120 |
| Ethel Waters | Elia Kazan understood my problems. He was able to bring out the very best in me. He gave me credit for my intelligence. | 120 |
| John Kenneth Galbraith | Wealth, in even the most improbable cases, manages to convey the aspect of intelligence. | 120 |
| Sean Parker | It would be incredibly presumptuous and self-serving of me to believe that Facebook was the end of history. The only way it could possibly be the end of history is if it becomes some sort of artificial super intelligence that takes over the world. | 120 |
| Sun Yat-sen | Which, autocracy or democracy, is really better suited to modern China? If we base our judgment upon the intelligence and the ability of the Chinese people, we come to the conclusion that the sovereignty of the people would be far more suitable for us. | 120 |
| Christian Lous Lange | It is an accepted commonplace in psychology that the spiritual level of people acting as a crowd is far lower than the mean of each individual's intelligence or morality. | 120 |
| Aaron Schock | I take four planes a week, honestly. You know, I am for intelligence screening. | 120 |
| Alistair Horne | Following 9/11, intelligence indicated numerous links between al-Qa'eda and Algeria. It began to look as though the roots of jihad could be traced back to the war in Algeria that began 50 years ago. | 120 |
| John O. Brennan | As a former career intelligence professional, I have a profound appreciation for the value of intelligence. Intelligence disrupts terrorist plots and thwarts attacks. Intelligence saves lives. | 120 |
| Michael J. Saylor | My principal professional objective is to introduce intelligence as the ubiquitous utility. I'd like to be the Thomas Edison of intelligence. | 120 |
| Groucho Marx | Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms. | 121 |
| Immanuel Kant | Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another. | 121 |
| Lawrence Eagleburger | I think what he's - what he believes, and he may be correct, I don't know, that we have some intelligence information that leads us to know some things about what's going on in Iraq that we haven't revealed to others. | 121 |
| Leland Stanford | The employer class is less indispensable in the modern organization of industries because the laboring men themselves possess sufficient intelligence to organize into co-operative relation and enjoy the entire benefits of their own labor. | 121 |
| Ray Kurzweil | When you talk to a human in 2035, you'll be talking to someone that's a combination of biological and non-biological intelligence. | 121 |
| William Clay Ford, Jr. | My great-grandfather was a man of great vision, drive, and native intelligence, with some human flaws amplified by limited education, limited social range, and questionable influence from some of his advisers. | 121 |
| Charles Dance | We need to look to our laurels a bit with television in this country. I don't think enough risks are being taken in drama television in the U.K., and I think a lot of programme makers are underestimating the intelligence of the viewing public, basing it all on ratings. | 121 |
| Frank Carlucci | And I argued with that intelligence estimate and I think it is a responsibility of policymakers to use their best judgment on the basis of the intelligence they've received. | 121 |
| John Key | Your personality as the prime minister feeds through to what you emphasise, and what you don't, how you'll handle a situation - whether you've got the combination of intelligence or instincts to adapt and to make good decisions. | 121 |
| Jean Anouilh | Men create real miracles when they use their God-given courage and intelligence. | 121 |
| John Frankenheimer | I sought Ben Affleck because I needed an everyman for this role. Ben appeals to men and women. He gives you a sense of intelligence, the notion of a guy who can think on his feet. | 121 |
| Barack Obama | Where the stakes are the highest, in the war on terror, we cannot possibly succeed without extraordinary international cooperation. Effective international police actions require the highest degree of intelligence sharing, planning and collaborative enforcement. | 122 |
| Edward Snowden | You can't come forward against the world's most powerful intelligence agencies and be completely free from risk. | 122 |
| David Ignatius | The ISI is above all a paramilitary organization. It doesn't do all that much collection of intelligence. It's not a very good spy agency, but it's good at running covert action. | 122 |
| James E. Faust | Others can challenge and motivate us, but we must reach down deep into our souls and call forth our God-given intelligence and capabilities. We cannot do this when we depend on the efforts of someone else. | 122 |
| John Kenneth Galbraith | We all agree that pessimism is a mark of superior intellect. | 122 |
| Leonard Boswell | The 9/11 Commission strongly recommends that the National Intelligence Director be fully in control of the budget, from developing it to implementing it, to ensuring that the National Intelligence Director has the clout to make decisions. | 122 |
| Ray Kurzweil | By 2029, computers will have emotional intelligence and be convincing as people. | 122 |
| Walter Kirn | To young people born under the weird planet of the SAT, intelligence was equated with agility, with raw acuity. It produced a certain sort of person of which I was a typical specimen: the mental contortionist, able to rise to almost every challenge placed before him, except the challenge of real self-knowledge. | 122 |
| Evan McMullin | I spent over 10 years in the Central Intelligence Agency, serving overseas, serving in the Middle East. And let me tell you, if you're a terrorist and you want to come to the United States, the worst possible way to do it is as a refugee. You'll go through a year and a half to two years of vetting. | 122 |
| Bob Barr | It is difficult, if not impossible, to argue that laws written in the 1970s are adequate for today's intelligence challenges. | 122 |
| Michael Mann | I don't underestimate audiences' intelligence. Audiences are much brighter than media gives them credit for. When people went to a movie once a week in the 1930s and that was their only exposure to media, you were required to do a different grammar. | 122 |
| Richard Perle | George Tenet has been the director of central intelligence since 1997, time enough to have changed the Agency's culture. He has failed. He should go. | 122 |
| J. K. Rowling | Talent and intelligence never yet inoculated anyone against the caprice of the fates. | 123 |
| Malcolm X | I don't even call it violence when it's in self defense; I call it intelligence. | 123 |
| Bonnie Hunt | Improvisation, if you play it at the top of your intelligence, leads to a kind of truth that people find really accessible. | 123 |
| Curtis Jackson | Because hip-hop has no requirements, you deal with people that have the least intelligence on the planet. Some of the people that compare themselves to me, compare themselves to me because they rap and I rap. They can't even read the contracts that they sign to be a rapper, to do the deal. | 123 |
| David Ignatius | We have a complicated intelligence relationship with France. We have a complicated intelligence relationship with other - with other allies. | 123 |
| Henri Bergson | Intelligence is the faculty of making artificial objects, especially tools to make tools. | 123 |
| Marilyn vos Savant | Skill is successfully walking a tightrope between the twin towers of New York's World Trade Center. Intelligence is not trying. | 123 |
| Noreena Hertz | The problem lies with us: we've become addicted to experts. We've become addicted to their certainty, their assuredness, their definitiveness, and in the process, we have ceded our responsibility, substituting our intellect and our intelligence for their supposed words of wisdom. | 123 |
| Paul Harris | To attempt to superimpose its views through the exercise of force, is seldom the part of intelligence; it is frequently the part of ignorance. | 123 |
| Susan Cain | In most job interviews, people say they are looking for people skills and emotional intelligence. That's reasonable, but the question is, how do you define what that looks like? | 123 |
| Jane McGonigal | We are moving towards a new form of collective intelligence. | 123 |
| D. A. Pennebaker | One of the things we found out as we filmed with people who dealt with chimps, and with all animals, and it's really incredible, is their levels of intelligence that we don't recognize right away. | 123 |
| Ramez Naam | Everything good and bad about technology would be magnified by implanting it deep in brains. Is the risk of brain-hacking outweighed by the societal benefits of faster, deeper communication, and the ability to augment our own intelligence? | 123 |
| Clyde Tombaugh | I think there's a supreme power behind the whole thing, an intelligence. Look at all of the instincts of nature, both animals and plants, the very ingenious ways they survive. If you cut yourself, you don't have to think about it. | 123 |
| Jim Ryun | Guantanamo allows us to secure dangerous detainees without the risk of escape, while at the same time providing us with valuable intelligence information on how best to proceed in the war against terror and prevent future attacks. | 123 |
| Adam Schiff | But it is equally incontrovertible that if our intelligence gathering process is seriously flawed, we had better find out and find out fast if we are to avoid another Sept. 11. | 124 |
| David Letterman | The White House is giving George W. Bush intelligence briefings. You know, some of these jokes just write themselves. | 124 |
| Tucker Max | If you don't have a job right now, and you have a computer and a basic intelligence level, I guarantee you can get a great job, paying really well, in less than three months. How? Learn to program. | 124 |
| Ben Kingsley | Hamlet is an astonishing intelligence. | 124 |
| Eliezer Yudkowsky | Since the rise of Homo sapiens, human beings have been the smartest minds around. But very shortly - on a historical scale, that is - we can expect technology to break the upper bound on intelligence that has held for the last few tens of thousands of years. | 124 |
| Marsha Blackburn | Mr. Speaker, we are a blessed Nation. We have not suffered another attack on our soil since September 11, and we are grateful. We have killed or captured dozens of members of al Qaeda and the Taliban. Our military and intelligence forces are working both hard and smart. | 124 |
| P. Chidambaram | Police can only act on intelligence. | 124 |
| Joan D. Vinge | But our society does not grant nontraditional forms of intelligence equal recognition, no matter how much it would help us get along or truly enrich our lives. | 124 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | I think that intelligence is such a narrow branch of the tree of life - this branch of primates we call humans. No other animal, by our definition, can be considered intelligent. So intelligence can't be all that important for survival, because there are so many animals that don't have what we call intelligence, and they're surviving just fine. | 125 |
| Jonathan Swift | When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him. | 125 |
| Bill Watterson | The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us. | 125 |
| Brian Eno | I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence, heightened sexual attractiveness, and a better sense of humor. | 125 |
| Daniel Goleman | My hope was that organizations would start including this range of skills in their training programs - in other words, offer an adult education in social and emotional intelligence. | 125 |
| E. Stanley Jones | Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence. | 125 |
| Rudy Giuliani | Lincoln made mistakes. Roosevelt made mistakes. Eisenhower made mistakes. The Battle of the Bulge was the biggest intelligence failure in American military history, much bigger than any in Vietnam or now. We didn't know that the Soviets were moving 400,000 or 500,000 troops. We missed it. | 125 |
| Evan McMullin | I spent over ten years in the Central Intelligence Agency as an undercover operations officer serving overseas after 9/11 where I carried out covert operations against al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups, as well as other countries who are 'hostile to liberty,' as I like to say. | 125 |
| George J. Mitchell | I had been involved in U.S. intelligence in Berlin, Germany, while in the military and had worked with a contact with the Central Intelligence Agency office there. | 125 |
| Brendan Coyle | The qualities I am looking for in Miss Right are intelligence and humour. | 125 |
| Rodney Brooks | I moved to MIT from Stanford in 1984 to teach, and became the founding director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab. | 125 |
| Scott Ritter | When I resigned, I put the U.S. Government on notice that I'm going to stick to policy issues, that I have no intention of going out and blowing the cover off of the intelligence operations, that those are truly sensitive and they should not be exposed. | 125 |
| Deepak Chopra | To think is to practice brain chemistry. | 126 |
| Samuel Beckett | Poets are the sense, philosophers the intelligence of humanity. | 126 |
| Bill Maher | The Clinton White House today said they would start to give national security and intelligence briefings to George Bush. I don't know how well this is working out. Today after the first one Bush said, 'I've got one question: What color is the red phone?' | 126 |
| Charles Kettering | A person must have a certain amount of intelligent ignorance to get anywhere. | 126 |
| Freeman Dyson | The question that will decide our destiny is not whether we shall expand into space. It is: shall we be one species or a million? A million species will not exhaust the ecological niches that are awaiting the arrival of intelligence. | 126 |
| Heather Brooke | In America, you have the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. You've got drones now being considered for domestic surveillance. You have the National Security Agency building the world's giantest spy center. | 126 |
| Simone Weil | The role of the intelligence - that part of us which affirms and denies and formulates opinions is merely to submit. | 126 |
| Jane McGonigal | In the future, I think it's pretty plausible that collective intelligence tools and skills will be important in order to be a part of global dialog, global business, and global creativity. People who know how to negotiate collective intelligence networks are going to be in a good position to contribute to global society. | 126 |
| Mark Helprin | My father ran London Films. He made films like 'The Red Shoes,' 'The Third Man.' And he had had a long career in the film business, which was bifurcated with a career in intelligence. He had to deal with gangsters, and sometimes he would take me with him. Also, I went to school with their children. | 126 |
| John Bruton | The E.U. has moved to combat global terrorism by instituting common European arrest and evidence warrants and creating a joint situation center to pool and analyze intelligence. | 126 |
| Dwight D. Eisenhower | There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure. | 201 |
| Lewis Carroll | It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards. | 201 |
| Ambrose Bierce | In our civilization, and under our republican form of government, intelligence is so highly honored that it is rewarded by exemption from the cares of office. | 201 |
| Arlen Specter | If you are going to have to play defense all the time, you cannot have the kind of ingenuity, assertiveness, independence, and intelligence which is what has made our country strong. | 201 |
| Ian Mcewan | I apologize for being obvious, but every time I watch the curtain come down on even a halfway decent production of a Shakespeare play I feel a little sorrowful that I'll never know the man, or any man of such warm intelligence. | 201 |
| Leland Stanford | The right of each individual in any relation to secure to himself the full benefits of his intelligence, his capacity, his industry and skill are among the inalienable inheritances of humanity. | 201 |
| Piet Mondrian | Intuition enlightens and so links up with pure thought. They together become an intelligence which is not simply of the brain, which does not calculate, but feels and thinks. | 201 |
| Ray Kurzweil | By the time we get to the 2040s, we'll be able to multiply human intelligence a billionfold. That will be a profound change that's singular in nature. Computers are going to keep getting smaller and smaller. Ultimately, they will go inside our bodies and brains and make us healthier, make us smarter. | 201 |
| Raymond Chandler | Chess is as elaborate a waste of human intelligence as you can find outside an advertising agency. | 201 |
| Robert Winston | Now we have technology where we can modify the genomics of individuals by gene transfer and genetic meddling, we may find that people will want to modify their children, enhance their intelligence, their strength and their beauty and all the other so-called desirable characteristics. | 201 |
| David Fincher | I don't know how to depict intelligence. | 201 |
| Lindsey Graham | The intelligence community gets hurt through sequestration. | 201 |
| Mikko Hypponen | U.S. intelligence has the legal right to monitor foreign communications as they go through to U.S. service providers. However, even though something is legal doesn't make it right. I'm not American; I don't really care about what data is being collected about American citizens. I'm worried about us, the foreigners. | 201 |
| Jean Piaget | The main functions of intelligence, that of inventing solutions and that of verifying them, do not necessarily involve one another. The first partakes of imagination; the second alone is properly logical. | 202 |
| Condoleezza Rice | Some governments choose to cooperate with the United States in intelligence, law enforcement, or military matters. The co-operation is a two-way street. We share intelligence that has helped protect European countries from attack, helping save European lives. | 202 |
| Miguel de Unamuno | That which the Fascists hate above all else, is intelligence. | 202 |
| Ray Kurzweil | A lot of movies about artificial intelligence envision that AI's will be very intelligent but missing some key emotional qualities of humans and therefore turn out to be very dangerous. | 202 |
| Eliezer Yudkowsky | I am a full-time Research Fellow at the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, a small 501(c)(3) public charity supported primarily by individual donations. | 202 |
| Ron DeSantis | I am concerned that the vague guidelines and policies used by the NSA for intelligence collection and sharing, in conjunction with elusive direction from the Administration, have led to intelligence being collected on sitting members of Congress for political purposes. | 202 |
| Terry Wogan | Just as you should never confuse the law with common justice, intelligence should not be confused with common sense. Some of the brightest people in the world have no idea how to cross the road. | 202 |
| Charles Bass | As a member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, I will be participating in several hearings on the startling revelations contained in the report. | 202 |
| Joseph Franklin Rutherford | It is conceded by all that man is the very highest type of all living creatures on the earth. His intelligence is far superior to that of any other earthly being. | 202 |
| Joe Arpaio | I want to go to Mexico. I've been stonewalled, so far, by federal officials. I want to go to Mexico, and I want to meet with the top Mexican officials. I want to tell them my past experience and what I can do here as Sheriff to help them get better intelligence and communications on the drug thing, not the illegal immigration thing. | 202 |
| Josh Billings | There is no greater evidence of superior intelligence than to be surprised at nothing. | 203 |
| Simone Weil | The intelligent man who is proud of his intelligence is like the condemned man who is proud of his large cell. | 203 |
| Thomas a Kempis | Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it. | 203 |
| Vidal Sassoon | It was my mother's idea. Her feeling was that I didn't have the intelligence to pick a trade myself. | 203 |
| Evan McMullin | If there is anyone who should not be trusted with regard to intelligence, it is Donald Trump, both in the literal sense and with regard to our intelligence services. He shouldn't have access to these briefings. | 203 |
| Mika | Lady Gaga has a very unjaded intelligence. It's brilliant, 'cause it's anti-snob. | 203 |
| Warren Christopher | The United States has done more for the war crimes tribunal than any other country in the world. We're turning over all the information we have, including intelligence information. | 203 |
| Annie Jacobsen | The CIA teamed up with Army, Air Force and Naval Intelligence to run one of the most nefarious, classified, enhanced interrogation programs of the Cold War. The work took place inside a clandestine facility in the American zone of occupied Germany, called Camp King. | 203 |
| Charles Bass | The Intelligence Committee will also examine present counterintelligence programs for the Department of Energy, the National Laboratories, and the Department of Defense. | 203 |
| John O. Brennan | We are in this business, whether it be intelligence or the government, to protect freedom, democracy and liberty, not to violate that. | 203 |
| Andrew Jackson | Our government is founded upon the intelligence of the people. I for one do not despair of the republic. I have great confidence in the virtue of the great majority of the people, and I cannot fear the result. | 204 |
| Stephen Hawking | There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over. We urgently need to develop direct connections to the brain so that computers can add to human intelligence rather than be in opposition. | 204 |
| John Keats | Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul? | 204 |
| Barbara Walters | A great many people think that polysyllables are a sign of intelligence. | 204 |
| Daniel Goleman | When I went on to write my next book, Working With Emotional Intelligence, I wanted to make a business case that the best performers were those people strong in these skills. | 204 |
| Lewis Thomas | It is only when you watch the dense mass of thousands of ants, crowded together around the Hill, blackening the ground, that you begin to see the whole beast, and now you observe it thinking, planning, calculating. It is an intelligence, a kind of live computer, with crawling bits for its wits. | 204 |
| Martin Seligman | There are physical characteristics which are inherited. These include things like good looks, high intelligence, physical coordination. These attributes contribute to success in life, and success in life is a determinant of optimism. | 204 |
| Julian Assange | Intelligence agencies keep things secret because they often violate the rule of law or of good behavior. | 204 |
| Thomas Bangalter | Synths are a very low level of artificial intelligence. Whereas you have a Stradivarius that will live for a thousand years. | 204 |
| Mark Kirk | The intelligence community agrees 30 percent of the terrorists released from Guantanamo are known or suspected to have already re-joined the fight against Americans_- a statistic that translates to a horrific reality. | 204 |
| Mike Rogers | I'm the chairman of the intelligence committee. We don't only get formal briefings, but we collect our information from the intelligence community in a variety of ways. | 204 |
| Robert Mueller | So there is a foreign intelligence purpose for every one of our FISA warrants. | 204 |
| Ronald Kessler | The 9/11 commission recommended the appointment of a national intelligence director with budgetary authority to better coordinate the work of the intelligence community and resolve differences. | 204 |
| Scott Derrickson | For something to be completely evil is to be nothing. Satan has good attributes - intelligence, for instance - but they are corrupted. I cannot reconcile myself emotionally to alternative understandings of evil. | 204 |
| Susan Rice | As Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Barak have repeatedly said, the intelligence and security relationship between the United States and Israel at present is unprecedented. It has never been stronger. | 204 |
| Lao Tzu | If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence. | 205 |
| Theodor Adorno | Advice to intellectuals: let no-one represent you. | 205 |
| Ben Horowitz | In my experience as CEO, I found that the most important decisions tested my courage far more than my intelligence. | 205 |
| Condoleezza Rice | We know that there are unaccounted-for Scud and other ballistic missiles in Iraq. And part of the problem is that, since 1998, there has been no way to even get minimal information about those programs except through intelligence means. | 205 |
| Diogenes | Man is the most intelligent of the animals - and the most silly. | 205 |
| Henry Adams | It is impossible to underrate human intelligence - beginning with one's own. | 205 |
| Herodotus | To think well and to consent to obey someone giving good advice are the same thing. | 205 |
| Monica Bellucci | Everybody does what she needs. And if you want plastic surgery, and then you feel better, why not? There is no law. I've nothing against using something to help your beauty - but do it in a good way, with intelligence. | 205 |
| Victoria Moran | Our culture has long mistrusted the body. It's been seen as a confusing blend of God's handiwork and the devil's playground. It is, rather, a vortex of intelligence. | 205 |
| Tariq Ramadan | The 21st century - and the atheists - needs the presence of religion, just as religion must deal with the real challenges and the thinkers of the day in order to sharpen the conscience and the intelligence of those who study the timeless sacred texts in a spirit of responding to the questions of their time. | 205 |
| Michael Mandelbaum | The war on terror, I believe, will be waged by effective intelligence and police work and cruise missiles. | 205 |
| Marcel Proust | Three-quarters of the sicknesses of intelligent people come from their intelligence. They need at least a doctor who can understand this sickness. | 206 |
| David Bailey | The trouble with people like Tony Blair is they get confused, they think intelligence is education when they're two different things. | 206 |
| Garrison Keillor | I was an English major at the University of Minnesota, and I was very shy, which many people misinterpreted as intelligence. On the basis of that wrong impression, I became the editor of the campus literary magazine. | 206 |
| Sebastian Thrun | Nobody phrases it this way, but I think that artificial intelligence is almost a humanities discipline. It's really an attempt to understand human intelligence and human cognition. | 206 |
| Jeffrey Kluger | There are a lot of obstacles in the way of our understanding animal intelligence - not the least being that we can't even agree whether nonhuman species are conscious. We accept that chimps and dolphins experience awareness; we like to think dogs and cats do. But what about mice and newts? What about a fly? Is anything going on there at all? | 206 |
| Kristen Schaal | The more women sit down and write something in a woman's voice for a woman, they more you'll see women in comedy because gender doesn't define sense of humor. Imagination and intelligence and perspective do. | 206 |
| Michelle Pfeiffer | I've never met a person who has more integrity than my husband. I respect that. There's his humor and intelligence, too, and he's really cute, all those things - but if you don't respect your partner, you'll get sick of him. | 206 |
| Maria Montessori | If intelligence is the triumph of life, the spoken word is the marvellous means by which this intelligence is manifested. | 207 |
| Fay Wray | There is a lot of strength and intelligence in Hollywood. | 207 |
| Marcel Duchamp | Rational intelligence is dangerous and leads to ratiocination. The painter is a medium who doesn't realize what he is doing. No translation can express the mystery of sensibility, a word, still unreliable, which is nevertheless the basis of painting or poetry, like a kind of alchemy. | 207 |
| Quentin Crisp | Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses. | 207 |
| Brad Thor | Some of the best fan mail I get are from our men and women in the military and intelligence communities. They say, 'Boy you do your homework, this is exactly how we're doing it.' | 207 |
| Brendan Iribe | With the headset and motion tracker and all kinds of different future tracking technologies that we are R&Ding, there is just a huge amount of intelligence that has to be created. So we are looking at hiring some of the brightest minds out there to tackle some of those challenges and deliver the very best experience possible for the consumer. | 207 |
| Eliezer Yudkowsky | We tend to see individual differences instead of human universals. Thus, when someone says the word 'intelligence,' we think of Einstein instead of humans. | 207 |
| B. F. Skinner | I won't say that I'm an agnostic, since agnosticism maintains that one cannot know... but I'm not averse to the idea of some intelligence or some organizing force that set up the initial conditions of the universe in such a way that ultimately generated stars, planets and life. | 208 |
| Alice Walker | In South Korea, they believe that when you turn 60, you've become a baby again and the rest of your life should be totally about joy and happiness, and people should leave you alone, and I just think that that's the height of intelligence. | 208 |
| Thierry Henry | So many people say that obviously my game has changed since I arrived here and I say that it's good that it changed, otherwise it would show a lack of intelligence. | 208 |
| William Gibson | If you make something, it's an artifact. It's something that somebody or some corporate entity has caused to come into being. A great many human beings have thought about each of the artifacts that surround us. Different degrees of intelligence and attention have been brought to bear on anything. | 208 |
| William Hague | I don't deny that there are problems in the intelligence world, but I would argue that in the UK we try to uphold the highest standards in the world. | 208 |
| Randi Weingarten | When student performance shows increases on test scores, that improvement is not associated with an increase in 'fluid intelligence' - that is, using logical thinking and problem solving in novel situations, rather than recalling previously learned facts and skills. | 208 |
| Jim Lehrer | I have great faith in the intelligence of the American viewer and reader to put two and two together and come up with four. | 208 |
| David Ignatius | Europeans don't like to talk about intelligence, and they often pretend their countries don't spy. | 209 |
| Herbert Read | The assumption is that the right kind of society is an organic being not merely analogous to an organic being, but actually a living structure with appetites and digestions, instincts and passions, intelligence and reason. | 209 |
| John O. Brennan | Simply stated, the need for accurate intelligence and prescient analysis from CIA has never been greater than it is in 2013 - or than it will be in the coming years. | 209 |
| Albert Einstein | Joy in looking and comprehending is nature's most beautiful gift. | 210 |
| Edward Snowden | I have been a systems engineer, systems administrator, a senior adviser for the Central Intelligence Agency, a solutions consultant and a telecommunications information systems officer. | 210 |
| Leonardo da Vinci | Intellectual passion drives out sensuality. | 210 |
| Napoleon Hill | Action is the real measure of intelligence. | 210 |
| Niccolo Machiavelli | There are three kinds of intelligence: one kind understands things for itself, the other appreciates what others can understand, the third understands neither for itself nor through others. This first kind is excellent, the second good, and the third kind useless. | 210 |
| Jean Piaget | Logical activity is not the whole of intelligence. One can be intelligent without being particularly logical. | 210 |
| Henry Adams | There is no such thing as an underestimate of average intelligence. | 210 |
| Laurence J. Peter | An intelligence test sometimes shows a man how smart he would have been not to have taken it. | 210 |
| Michael T. Flynn | The president says, 'What difference does it make what you call the enemy?' Are you kidding me? As an intelligence officer, I would never get away with that. I could never say, 'Well, you know, boss, I don't label this enemy that we're facing.' | 210 |
| Terry Wogan | My father was always slightly bemused by my success. Although he knew that I had reasonable intelligence, he always thought that I was a little bit lazy. | 210 |
| Mike Rogers | Intelligence is playing a more important role in policymaker decisions than I think I've ever seen in my time in Congress or before. | 210 |
| Scott Derrickson | If you look at life with any honesty and intelligence, it's clear that human nature is dark, vile, selfish, and despondent. But I also see a force in human nature, namely grace, that sometimes works against our natural moral entropy. | 210 |
| W. E. B. Du Bois | Men we shall have only as we make manhood the object of the work of the schools - intelligence, broad sympathy, knowledge of the world that was and is, and of the relation of men to it - this is the curriculum of that Higher Education which must underlie true life. | 211 |
| George Saunders | A John Updike is a once-in-a-generation phenomenon, if that generation is lucky: so comfortable in so many genres, the same lively, generous intelligence suffusing all he did. | 211 |
| Henry Paulson | I think all governments engage in intelligence gathering vis-a-vis other governments. | 211 |
| Aristotle | Wit is educated insolence. | 212 |
| H. L. Mencken | No one in this world, so far as I know - and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me - has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. | 212 |
| Tom Cotton | The use of encrypted communication and data storage to shield terrorist coordination from intelligence and law-enforcement authorities is known as 'going dark.' | 212 |
| Albert Camus | The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism. | 213 |
| Ludwig Wittgenstein | Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. | 213 |
| Alan Alda | Be as smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than to be smart. | 213 |
| Penn Jillette | The highest ideals are human intelligence, creativity and love. Respect these above all. | 213 |
| Jamais Cascio | Fluid intelligence doesn't look much like the capacity to memorise and recite facts, the skills that people have traditionally associated with brainpower. | 213 |
| John le Carre | It's necessary to understand what real intelligence work is. It will never cease. It's absolutely essential that we have it. At its best, it is simply the left arm of healthy governmental curiosity. It brings to a strong government what it needs to know. It's the collection of information, a journalistic job, if you will, but done in secret. | 213 |
| Martin Rees | Post-human intelligence will develop hypercomputers with the processing power to simulate living things - even entire worlds. Perhaps advanced beings could use hypercomputers to surpass the best 'special effects' in movies or computer games so vastly that they could simulate a world, fully, as complex as the one we perceive ourselves to be in. | 213 |
| Mitch Kapor | Human intelligence is a marvelous, subtle, and poorly understood phenomenon. There is no danger of duplicating it anytime soon. | 213 |
| Travis Bradberry | Emotional intelligence is your ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others, and your ability to use this awareness to manage your behavior and relationships. | 214 |
| James Lovelock | There is little evidence that our individual intelligence has improved through recorded history. | 214 |
| Jimmy Chin | I truly believe the intention of creating positive change is so important to the collective consciousness. When you have a group of people that have the intention and the capacity, talent, and intelligence to actualize those intentions, then you have something really powerful. | 214 |
| Jose Bergamin | A German immersed in any civilization different from his own loses a weight equivalent in volume to the amount of intelligence he displaces. | 214 |
| Aldous Huxley | Man is an intelligence in servitude to his organs. | 215 |
| Marcel Proust | Like many intellectuals, he was incapable of saying a simple thing in a simple way. | 215 |
| Gael Garcia Bernal | A person isn't born with the intelligence to be with someone special; you learn it, and you fail in the path of life, but you don't have to give up the chance to love. | 215 |
| Travis Bradberry | People who fail to use their emotional intelligence skills are more likely to turn to other, less effective means of managing their mood. They are twice as likely to experience anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and even thoughts of suicide. | 215 |
| Elizabeth Debicki | I've always been a big Cate Blanchett fan. Such a wonderful role model, the way she carries herself through her profession. She has so much grace to her, and so much intelligence. I've also always been a big Katharine Hepburn fan. | 215 |
| Rick Perlstein | Whatever you think about his intelligence, what's unquestionable is that Reagan had extraordinary emotional intelligence. He could sense the temperature of a room, and tell them a story and make them feel good. And that's more fun, right? It's more fun to feel good than feel bad. That's part of our human state. | 215 |
| Terry Glavin | It should tell you something that Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency invented the Taliban in the early 1990s only because Hekmatyar, its primary U.S.-bankrolled proxy in the war for control of Afghanistan, had proved too bloodthirsty after the Soviets withdrew, even by the low standards of the ISI's ghastly generals in Rawalpindi. | 215 |
| Victor Hugo | Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant. | 216 |
| Clare Balding | I've always been fascinated by intelligence and how our brains work, and how they can be improved. | 216 |
| Michael T. Flynn | The intelligence community does not have complete 'eyes on' the totality of the Iranian nuclear program, nor can it guarantee that we have identified all of Iran's nuclear facilities and processes. | 216 |
| Travis Bradberry | Teaching emotional intelligence skills to people with life-threatening illnesses has been shown to reduce the rate of recurrence, shrink recovery times, and lower death rates. | 216 |
| William Godwin | Superior virtue must be the fruit of superior intelligence. | 216 |
| Abdullah II of Jordan | If you look at military and intelligence positions from the 1950s, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has always been against American national interests. | 216 |
| Bill Maris | As computer intelligence gets better, what will be possible when we interface our brains with computers? It might sound scary, but early evidence suggests otherwise: interfacing brains with machines can be helpful in treating traumatic brain injury, repairing spinal cord damage, and countless other applications. | 216 |
| John Sununu | We will have to continue to improve our human intelligence system-something that was, unfortunately, lacking in the years which led up to September 11. This is going to be a continuing process of change. | 216 |
| Linus Torvalds | Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done. | 218 |
| David Bowie | I'm in awe of the universe, but I don't necessarily believe there's an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals, though, even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance. The incense is powerful and provocative, whether Buddhist or Catholic. | 219 |
| Maria Montessori | The child's mind is not the type of mind we adults possess. If we call our type of mind the conscious type, that of the child is an unconscious mind. Now an unconscious mind does not mean an inferior mind. An unconscious mind can be full of intelligence. One will find this type of intelligence in every being, and every insect has it. | 219 |
| Barton Gellman | U.S. intelligence services routinely use collection methods against foreigners that foreseeably - with certainty - ingest high volumes of U.S. communications as well. | 219 |
| Margaret J. Wheatley | Successful organizations, including the Military, have learned that the higher the risk, the more necessary it is to engage everyone's commitment and intelligence. | 219 |
| Michio Kaku | No one knows when a robot will approach human intelligence, but I suspect it will be late in the 21st century. Will they be dangerous? Possibly. So I suggest we put a chip in their brain to shut them off if they have murderous thoughts. | 219 |
| Robert Winston | Of course it is a very simple matter to identify genes which might modify intelligence or memory and start thinking about whether you want to enhance a human, and the next generation is going to have to deal with that issue. Should we be trying to enhance humans rather than trying to educate them and so on? | 219 |
| Bat for Lashes | In the music industry, intelligence in women is undervalued. | 219 |
| John O. Brennan | While the intelligence profession oftentimes demands secrecy, it is critically important that there be a full and open discourse on intelligence matters with the appropriate elected representatives of the American people. | 219 |
| Steve Jobs | I'm an optimist in the sense that I believe humans are noble and honorable, and some of them are really smart. I have a very optimistic view of individuals. | 220 |
| Pablo Picasso | Sculpture is the art of the intelligence. | 220 |
| Jean Piaget | Intelligence is what you use when you don't know what to do: when neither innateness nor learning has prepared you for the particular situation. | 220 |
| Brian Eno | When our governments want to sell us a course of action, they do it by making sure it's the only thing on the agenda, the only thing everyone's talking about. And they pre-load the ensuing discussion with highly selected images, devious and prejudicial language, dubious linkages, weak or false 'intelligence' and selected 'leaks.' | 220 |
| Peter T. King | White House leaks of classified information put the lives of U.S. service members, intelligence officers, and civilians at risk. That's why I support a measure passed by the Senate Intelligence Committee to crack down on such leaks. | 220 |
| Yehuda Berg | Many can argue that it is our power of intelligence that is the key to the human domination of our planet. I suggest that it is the ability to put our thoughts into words that can be communicated to others. | 220 |
| Leonard Mlodinow | Expressive speech, with modulation in pitch and volume, and a minimum of noticeable pauses, boosts credibility and enhances the impression of intelligence. | 220 |
| Mehmet Oz | I like shows that have some level of intelligence to them. When it's not as predictable, when you don't know what's coming at you. | 220 |
| Stephen Hawking | We must develop as quickly as possible technologies that make possible a direct connection between brain and computer, so that artificial brains contribute to human intelligence rather than opposing it. | 221 |
| Vladimir Putin | Journalism, as concerns collecting information, differs little if at all from intelligence work. In my judgment, a journalist's job is very interesting. | 221 |
| R. Buckminster Fuller | Man knows so much and does so little. | 221 |
| Christopher Lee | I wasn't a spy. I'd have been spotted in five seconds. Yes, I was in intelligence, but that covered a multitude of things. | 221 |
| Peter T. King | The president has a right to discuss his national security policies with the public. But that should be done in the light of day without endangering our sources or methods. The public has no need to know details about intelligence assets or special operations units. Such disclosures endanger those who protect us. | 221 |
| John James Audubon | There is but one kind of love; God is love, and all his creatures derive theirs from his; only it is modified by the different degrees of intelligence in different beings and creatures. | 221 |
| Lindsey Graham | According to the FBI and the director of national intelligence, Syria's becoming a perfect platform to strike our nation. I've got a very simple strategy as your president against ISIL. Whatever it takes, as long as it takes, to defeat them. | 221 |
| George Bernard Shaw | It is the mark of a truly intelligent person to be moved by statistics. | 222 |
| Leonardo da Vinci | Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory. | 222 |
| Virginia Woolf | There can be no two opinions as to what a highbrow is. He is the man or woman of thoroughbred intelligence who rides his mind at a gallop across country in pursuit of an idea. | 222 |
| Eckhart Tolle | I don't believe in an outside agent that creates the world, then walks away. But I feel very strongly there is an intelligence at work in every flower, in every blade of grass, in every cell of my body. And it is that intelligence that, I wouldn't say created the universe. It is creating the universe. It's an ongoing process. | 223 |
| Vicente Fox | I mean, we must act with intelligence. We must work on this framework, so that immigration becomes an asset to both nations. Believe me, what - just the Mayor Bloomberg said here in New York, that this city would be stopped, totally stopped if it were not by the immigrants working here. | 223 |
| Thomas A. Edison | I know this world is ruled by infinite intelligence. Everything that surrounds us- everything that exists - proves that there are infinite laws behind it. There can be no denying this fact. It is mathematical in its precision. | 224 |
| Herbert Hoover | While the crash only took place six months ago, I am convinced we have now passed the worst, and with continued unity of effort, we shall rapidly recover. There is one certainty of the future of a people of the resources, intelligence and character of the people of the United States - that is, prosperity. | 224 |
| Virginia Postrel | Americans born since World War II have grown up in a media-saturated environment. From childhood, we have developed a sort of advertising literacy, which combines appreciation for technique with skepticism about motives. We respond to ads with at least as much rhetorical intelligence as we apply to any other form of persuasion. | 224 |
| Wayne Dyer | Everything in the universe has a purpose. Indeed, the invisible intelligence that flows through everything in a purposeful fashion is also flowing through you. | 225 |
| Ezra Pound | A man of genius has a right to any mode of expression. | 225 |
| Henry Adams | No man likes to have his intelligence or good faith questioned, especially if he has doubts about it himself. | 225 |
| M. J. Rose | I was taught to think outside the box. Before my grandfather was one of the original Mad Men, he and a group of other Air Force Intelligence officers formalized brainstorming as a problem solving technique. He taught the concept that creativity can be taught at Buffalo University. My dad invented toys. My mom was a photographer. | 225 |
| Carl Jung | We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth. | 226 |
| Dwight D. Eisenhower | An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows. | 226 |
| Ellen DeGeneres | My dad is still Christian Scientist. My mom's not, and I'm not. But I believe in God, and that there's a higher power and an intelligence that's bigger than us and that we can rely on. It's not just us, thinking we are the ones in control of everything. That idea gives me support. | 226 |
| William Blake | One thought fills immensity. | 226 |
| Michel de Montaigne | It is good to rub and polish our brain against that of others. | 226 |
| Shirley Manson | It's really difficult to navigate attention and stardom and celebrity status and still try to maintain yourself and hold onto your intelligence and integrity. It's really challenging. | 301 |
| Roseanne Barr | Why have I been chosen to deliver the message of female intelligence and its divinity to a deaf world of males? I have asked my god that question and She answered, 'Hey, why not you Roseanne?' Indeed, why not each of us? | 301 |
| James Comey | To accomplish its mission, the FBI relies heavily upon its law enforcement and intelligence partners around the nation and around the globe. By combining our resources and our collective expertise, we are able to investigate national security threats that cross both geographical and jurisdictional boundaries. | 301 |
| George Santayana | Intelligence is quickness in seeing things as they are. | 302 |
| Brian Greene | Intelligence is the ability to take in information from the world and to find patterns in that information that allow you to organize your perceptions and understand the external world. | 302 |
| Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu | I think intelligence basically can be in a way defined by the possibility of having two opposite ideas living together and at the same time functioning. That's why I think a smart script has two things living in the same place, and they're absolutely contradictory. | 303 |
| Bryant H. McGill | Many openly show discontentment with their looks, but few with their intelligence. I, however, assure you there are many more plain minds than faces. | 303 |
| Vincent Bugliosi | One thing I have seen over and over again in life is that there is virtually no correlation between intelligence and common sense. IQ doesn't seem to translate that way. | 303 |
| H. Jackson Brown, Jr. | Be smarter than other people, just don't tell them so. | 304 |
| Jean-Paul Sartre | Ah! yes, I know: those who see me rarely trust my word: I must look too intelligent to keep it. | 304 |
| David Blunkett | Judy, we think that since the 11th of September, 2001, we've faced a similar heightened threat level. And we've been enhancing both the exchange of intelligence and security information and the assessment of that information, because that's the crucial element. | 304 |
| Douglas Brinkley | If Reagan had intelligence information that showed that the upheaval in Egypt is actually Democratic in spirit, then he would have, I believe, turned his back on Mubarak, even though there's a long friendship between the United States and Egypt. | 304 |
| Ronald Reagan | The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would steal them away. | 305 |
| Mario Cuomo | Barack Obama is probably one of the brightest in terms of sheer intelligence... also probably the best orator we've ever had as a president. | 305 |
| F. Scott Fitzgerald | It occurred to me that there was no difference between men, in intelligence or race, so profound as the difference between the sick and the well. | 306 |
| George Orwell | There are some ideas so wrong that only a very intelligent person could believe in them. | 306 |
| Michelle Obama | My mother's love has always been a sustaining force for our family, and one of my greatest joys is seeing her integrity, her compassion, her intelligence reflected in my daughters. | 306 |
| Bill Gates | I don't think there's anything unique about human intelligence. | 307 |
| Sigmund Freud | The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing. | 307 |
| Douglas Rushkoff | As a digital technology writer, I have had more than one former student and colleague tell me about digital switchers they have serviced through which calls and data are diverted to government servers or the big data algorithms they've written to be used on our e-mails by intelligence agencies. | 307 |
| Geoff Mulgan | The wrongful arrest of tens of thousands of British Muslims after the September 11 attacks can be explained by the very poor intelligence the police had, and, just possibly, excused by the fact that a terrorist action in Britain linked to British Muslims would have been hugely damaging. | 307 |
| Max Heindel | Each visible planet is the embodiment of a great and exalted spiritual intelligence Who is the minister of God in that department of His Kingdom, endeavoring to carry out His Will, the latter having in view the ultimate highest good, regardless of temporary ill. | 307 |
| T. S. Eliot | There is no method but to be very intelligent. | 308 |
| Spike Lee | I respect the audience's intelligence a lot, and that's why I don't try to go for the lowest common denominator. | 308 |
| Mark Twain | I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up. | 309 |
| Gilbert K. Chesterton | A woman uses her intelligence to find reasons to support her intuition. | 309 |
| Justin Trudeau | If we wander around as politicians jumping at every shadow and desperately afraid of having our words taken out of context or attacks layered on in an unfair way, I think we're actually doing a disrespect to Canadians, to people's intelligence. | 309 |
| Saint Augustine | Our bodies are shaped to bear children, and our lives are a working out of the processes of creation. All our ambitions and intelligence are beside that great elemental point. | 310 |
| Oscar Wilde | To expect the unexpected shows a thoroughly modern intellect. | 311 |
| Dwight D. Eisenhower | If men can develop weapons that are so terrifying as to make the thought of global war include almost a sentence for suicide, you would think that man's intelligence and his comprehension... would include also his ability to find a peaceful solution. | 311 |
| Annie Besant | Strange indeed would it be if all the space around us be empty, mere waste void, and the inhabitants of Earth the only forms in which intelligence could clothe itself. | 311 |
| Nathan Myhrvold | Another random thing I do is the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI. And you may be familiar with the movie 'Contact,' which sort of popularized that. It turns out there are real people who go out and search for extraterrestrials in a very scientific way. | 311 |
| Seth Shostak | In archaeology, context is the basis of many discoveries that are imputed to the deliberate workings of intelligence. If I find a rock chipped in such a way as to give it a sharp edge, and the discovery is made in a cave, I am seduced into ascribing this to tool use by distant, fetid and furry ancestors. | 311 |
| Vincent Bugliosi | As a trial lawyer, intelligence is important only in the sense that it allows you to play the game, if you will. Without it, you don't even have a ticket into the competitive arena. But beyond that, it doesn't get you very far at all. | 311 |
| Simone Weil | Whatever debases the intelligence degrades the entire human being. | 312 |
| Roger Ebert | I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state. What I am grateful for is the gift of intelligence, and for life, love, wonder, and laughter. You can't say it wasn't interesting. My lifetime's memories are what I have brought home from the trip. | 313 |
| Tiger Woods | My dad used to say, 'Just because you dress up in a coat and tie, it doesn't influence your intelligence.' | 313 |
| Emile M. Cioran | Intelligence flourishes only in the ages when belief withers. | 314 |
| Leila Janah | In terms of environmental impact, Samasource jobs are very green. Our product is human intelligence, and it's transported through the Internet rather than via carbon-intensive trucking, shipping, and warehousing. | 314 |
| Alan Furst | For something that's supposed to be secret, there is a lot of intelligence history. Every time I read one book, two more are published. | 314 |
| Shakira | What happens is once you start to understand football, you realise that it's not just about the physical side of the game and chasing after a ball. It's a strategic sport which requires a lot of intelligence. It's a very mental game. | 315 |
| Jason Bateman | It's not new: In the '70s, Archie Bunker said terrible things on 'All in the Family,' but it was all in Carroll O'Connor's performance. You saw lack of intelligence, and you laughed. | 315 |
| John le Carre | The Secret Intelligence Service I knew occupied dusky suites of little rooms opposite St James's Park Tube station in London. | 315 |
| Maya Angelou | I'm grateful to intelligent people. That doesn't mean educated. That doesn't mean intellectual. I mean really intelligent. What black old people used to call 'mother wit' means intelligence that you had in your mother's womb. That's what you rely on. You know what's right to do. | 316 |
| John Burroughs | Birds and animals probably think without knowing that they think; that is, they have not self-consciousness. Only man seems to be endowed with this faculty; he alone develops disinterested intelligence, intelligence that is not primarily concerned with his own safety and well-being but that looks abroad upon things. | 316 |
| Robert Kiyosaki | I want parents to teach that academic intelligence is essential, but so is financial intelligence. | 316 |
| Pierre Teilhard de Chardin | It is a curious thing: man, the centre and creator of all science, is the only object which our science has not yet succeeded in including in a homogeneous representation of the universe. We know the history of his bones, but no ordered place has yet been found in nature for his reflective intelligence. | 317 |
| John Burroughs | Fear, love, and hunger were the agents that developed the wits of the lower animals, as they were, of course, the prime factors in developing the intelligence of man. | 317 |
| Robert Green Ingersoll | There can be goodness without much intelligence - but it seems to me that perfect intelligence and perfect goodness must go together. | 318 |
| Bruce Springsteen | For me, I was somebody who was a smart young guy who didn't do very well in school. The basic system of education, I didn't fit in; my intelligence was elsewhere. | 321 |
| Bryant H. McGill | Emotion is often what we rely upon to carry us across the unfathomable voids in our intelligence. | 321 |
| Astro Teller | Our culture already has a number of well known stories about artificial life and non-human intelligence. In 'Exegesis,' I've tried to not only tell a new and engaging story but also to comment on those well known stories through the details of my novel. | 321 |
| Jeff Duncan | I think America is less safe on a lot fronts, and I disagree with the release of the information from Dianne Feinstein. I think she's as much a traitor to this country at this point as I thought about Edward Snowden and his release of information about other investigations and abilities from an intelligence standpoint. | 321 |
| Stephen Hawking | As Irving Good realised in 1965, machines with superhuman intelligence could repeatedly improve their design even further, triggering what Vernor Vinge called a 'singularity.' | 322 |
| Maria Montessori | It is by developing the individual that he is prepared for that wonderful manifestation of the human intelligence, which drawing constitutes. The ability to see reality in form, in color, in proportion, to be master of the movements of one's own hand - that is what is necessary. | 322 |
| Ambrose Bierce | Mad, adj. Affected with a high degree of intellectual independence. | 322 |
| Robert Kiyosaki | You have to be smart. The easy days are over. | 323 |
| Sam Altman | Intelligence is usually easy to tell in a 10-minute conversation. Determination is harder. | 323 |
| Arthur Schopenhauer | Nature shows that with the growth of intelligence comes increased capacity for pain, and it is only with the highest degree of intelligence that suffering reaches its supreme point. | 324 |
| Theodor Adorno | Intelligence is a moral category. | 324 |
| Bryant H. McGill | Human intelligence may not be the best trick nature has to offer. | 324 |
| David Ignatius | Journalists couldn't do their jobs overseas without taking risks, and the same is true for diplomats and intelligence officers. | 324 |
| Donald Rumsfeld | If it were a fact, it wouldn't be called intelligence. | 324 |
| John F. Kennedy | I don't think the intelligence reports are all that hot. Some days I get more out of the New York Times. | 325 |
| Steve Jobs | Bottom line is, I didn't return to Apple to make a fortune. I've been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn't going to let it ruin my life. There's no way you could ever spend it all, and I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence. | 325 |
| Iman | Intelligence is sexy. Don't play dumb, especially young girls. Don't play dumb. And let people see that you are intelligent. | 325 |
| Trent Franks | The American public should know that the Senate report actually reveals that 82% of detainees subjected to enhanced interrogation did, in fact, produce intelligence that saved American lives. | 325 |
| Ronald Reagan | There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder. | 326 |
| Alexander Pope | Genius creates, and taste preserves. Taste is the good sense of genius; without taste, genius is only sublime folly. | 326 |
| Bryant H. McGill | It is better to have a fair intellect that is well used than a powerful one that is idle. | 326 |
| Marissa Mayer | One of the interesting applications of symbolic systems is artificial intelligence, and I spent some time thinking about how to create a brain that operates the way ours does. | 326 |
| Annie Besant | Man is a spiritual intelligence, who has taken flesh with the object of gaining experience in worlds below the spiritual, in order that he may be able to master and to rule them, and in later ages take his place in the creative and directing hierarchies of the universe. | 401 |
| Barton Gellman | The government of Sudan, employing a back channel direct from its president to the Central Intelligence Agency, offered in the early spring of 1996 to arrest Osama bin Laden and place him in Saudi custody, according to officials and former officials in all three countries. | 402 |
| Marissa Mayer | I came in as an engineer and worked on artificial intelligence at Google. I worked on related sites and matching advertising to queries with some of our earliest ads. | 402 |
| Richard Engel | Foreigners who speak Arabic in the Middle East are often assumed to be working for the C.I.A. or Israel's intelligence agency, the Mossad. | 402 |
| Dolly Parton | I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb... and I also know that I'm not blonde. | 403 |
| Bertrand Russell | So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence. | 404 |
| Annie Besant | Men are at every stage of evolution, from the most barbarous to the most developed; men are found of lofty intelligence, but also of the most unevolved mentality; in one place there is a highly developed and complex civilisation, in another a crude and simple polity. | 404 |
| John le Carre | SIS, the Secret Intelligence Service, also known as MI6, also has no executive powers and operates abroad on CIA lines, but with a tiny percentage of the budget and a tiny percentage of the personnel. | 405 |
| Noam Chomsky | As far as U.S. intelligence knows, Iran is developing nuclear capacities, but they don't know if they are trying to develop nuclear weapons or not. Chances are they're developing what's called 'nuclear capability,' which many states have. That is the ability to have nuclear weapons if they decide to do it. That's not a crime. | 406 |
| John le Carre | I've had nothing to do with the intelligence world since I left it, in any shade or variety. | 406 |
| Alexander Pope | The bookful blockhead, ignorantly read, With loads of learned lumber in his head. | 407 |
| Mitt Romney | We will strengthen our security by building missile defense, restoring our military might, and standing by and strengthening our intelligence officers. | 407 |
| Seamus Heaney | I don't think my intelligence is naturally analytic or political. | 407 |
| Terry Pratchett | The intelligence of the creature known as a crowd, is the square root of the number of people in it. | 408 |
| Margaret Atwood | If one of the arguments against eating meat is to do with cruelty and animal intelligence, then lab meat avoids that. There's also the environmental argument for it. | 409 |
| John Podhoretz | Newt Gingrich has a restless and outsized intelligence that is tragically unleavened by any kind of critical sensibility. | 409 |
| Douglas Rushkoff | I think there can be a positive sort of futurism even in a presentist society. But I think it's a kind of futurism that envisions augmenting human ability and intellect rather than creating some artificial machine intelligence that displaces us. | 410 |
| Rick Perlstein | Everyone on the Left has a favorite story that allows them to kind of excuse Reagan, explain away Reagan, say he was dumb, but unless we reckon with that kind of emotional intelligence and his ability to kind of speak to the aspirations of the American people, the less liberals are going to be able to understand the soul of his appeal. | 410 |
| Seth Shostak | The cosmos is three times as old as Earth. During most of creation's 14 billion year history, our solar system wasn't around. Nonetheless, the early universe still had the right stuff for life, and contained worlds that were just as suitable for spawning biology and intelligence as our own. | 411 |
| Mother Angelica | Each angel that God created was in himself a masterpiece. Each one possessed his own degree of intelligence and his own beauty. | 412 |
| Seth Shostak | The fact that we can't easily foresee clues that would betray an intelligence a million millennia farther down the road suggests that we're like ants trying to discover humans. Ask yourself: Would ants ever recognize houses, cars, or fire hydrants as the work of advanced biology? | 412 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | When we see animals doing remarkable things, how do we know if we're simply seeing tricks or signs of real intelligence? Are talented animals just obeying commands, or do they have some kind of deeper understanding? One of the biggest challenges for animal researchers is to come up with tests that can distinguish between the two. | 414 |
| Letitia Baldrige | Politeness decrees that you must listen to be kind; intelligence decrees that you must listen to learn. | 415 |
| Sebastian Thrun | As a college student, what really interested me was the human brain and human intelligence. | 415 |
| Sebastian Thrun | When you program a robot to be intelligent, you learn a number of things. You become very humble and develop enormous respect for natural intelligence because, even if you work day and night for several years, your robot isn't that smart after all. | 416 |
| Pierre Teilhard de Chardin | Progressively saved by the machine from the anxieties that bound his hands and mind to material toil, relieved of a large part of his work and compelled to an ever-increasing speed of action by the devices which his intelligence cannot help ceaselessly creating and perfecting, man is about to find himself abruptly plunged into idleness. | 418 |
| Angela Merkel | I think the political class in Berlin doesn't need to be supervised and monitored by intelligence services in order to find out what they're thinking. Just go to lunch with them, go to dinner with them, or read the papers. | 418 |
| Francis Bacon | God has placed no limits to the exercise of the intellect he has given us, on this side of the grave. | 421 |
| Honore de Balzac | For passion, be it observed, brings insight with it; it can give a sort of intelligence to simpletons, fools, and idiots, especially during youth. | 422 |
| Satya Nadella | Human language is the new UI layer, bots are like new applications, and digital assistants are meta apps. Intelligence is infused into all of your interactions. | 422 |
| Rachel Kushner | I don't believe that intelligence can be reduced to a number, frankly. But I can see how doing exactly that produces a useful sorting mechanism in our society in order to separate children into categories of promising and doomed. The tests seem arbitrary and without real scientific value and yet have lasting consequences. | 422 |
| Satya Nadella | We want to build intelligence that augments human abilities and experiences. | 423 |
| Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | All intelligent thoughts have already been thought; what is necessary is only to try to think them again. | 424 |
| Ralph Waldo Emerson | Common sense is genius dressed in its working clothes. | 503 |
| Bertrand Russell | Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we adopt reason and science as our guidelines. | 504 |
| Nicolas Cage | If I could have been a marine biologist I would have, but I didn't have that kind of intelligence. Numbers were never my strong point. | 504 |
| Albert Einstein | He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice. | 506 |
| Seth Shostak | Most of the intelligence out there must be artificial intelligence. We keep looking for critters like us living on a planet like ours, where in fact the majority of the intelligence out there is not biological. That would be my argument. | 507 |
| Barton Gellman | The $52.6 billion U.S. intelligence arsenal is aimed mainly at unambiguous adversaries, including al-Qaida, North Korea and Iran. But top-secret budget documents reveal an equally intense focus on one purported ally: Pakistan. | 510 |
| Sebastian Thrun | You could claim that moving from pixelated perception, where the robot looks at sensor data, to understanding and predicting the environment is a Holy Grail of artificial intelligence. | 510 |
| Marianne Williamson | As a cell contains a natural intelligence by which it fosters the healthy functioning of the body, I, too, have natural intelligence that fosters the perfect unfolding of my life. | 511 |
| Seth Shostak | Humans have existed only for the last 0.001 percent of cosmic time. All of which says that - unless the Homo sapiens brain is the one-and-only instance of cogitating machinery - nearly all the intelligence that's out there is beyond our level. And that intelligence is more than just a little bit beyond. | 512 |
| Albert Einstein | We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality. | 516 |
| Seth Shostak | I think there's a lot of intelligence out there, but that's just my guess. Question is: Are they peaceable or hostile? You could say that the peaceable ones are just going to stay at home and play with their Nintendos, so if you do meet any of them, they might be hostile. | 525 |
| Sophocles | Wise thinkers prevail everywhere. | 526 |
| Shakira | I enjoy taking part in footballing events that are for social causes because, in my view, inspiring children through sport is a way of keeping their bodies and minds healthy as well as helping nurture their intelligence and ability to relate with others. | 526 |
| David Bowie | I'm in awe of the universe, but I don't necessarily believe there's an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals, though, even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance. | 602 |
| Wayne Dyer | There is no greater power in Heaven or on Earth than pure, unconditional love. The nature of the God force, the unseen intelligence in all things, which causes the material world and is the center of both the spiritual and physical plane, is best described as pure, unconditional love. | 605 |
| Rand Paul | To defend our country we need to gather intelligence on the enemy, but when the intelligence lies to Congress, how are we to trust them? The phone records of law abiding citizens are none of their damn business. | 605 |
| Vladimir Putin | When the States already had nuclear weapons, and the Soviet Union was only building them, we got a significant amount of information through Soviet foreign intelligence channels. | 609 |
| Nancy Gibbs | After 9/11, whatever the evidence of intelligence failures, many people still saw that attack as almost unimaginable, so brutal and brazen an assault. | 609 |
| Robert Green Ingersoll | Intelligence, integrity and courage are the great pillars that support the State. Above all, the citizens of a free nation should honor the brave and independent man - the man of stainless integrity, of will and intellectual force. | 610 |
| Francois Hollande | We need intelligence services to fight against terrorism, but they have to respect the principles of good relationships between allies and protect personal, confidential data. | 614 |
| Victor Hugo | Thought is more than a right - it is the very breath of man. Whoever fetters thought attacks man himself. To speak, to write, to publish, are things, so far as the right is concerned, absolutely identical. They are the ever-enlarging circles of intelligence in action; they are the sonorous waves of thought. | 623 |
| Oscar Wilde | I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their intellects. A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies. | 624 |
| Bill Gates | Eventually we'll be able to sequence the human genome and replicate how nature did intelligence in a carbon-based system. | 626 |
| Stephen Hawking | It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value. | 704 |
| Ralph Waldo Emerson | Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think. | 705 |
| Robert Green Ingersoll | As long as we can get redress in the courts, as long as the laws shall be honestly administered, as long as honesty and intelligence sit upon the bench, as long as intelligence sits in the chairs of jurors, this country will stand, the law will be enforced, and the law will be respected. | 708 |
| Peter Diamandis | If the government regulates against use of drones or stem cells or artificial intelligence, all that means is that the work and the research leave the borders of that country and go someplace else. | 709 |
| Wayne Dyer | There is not a separate God for each person. There is one universal intelligence flowing through all of us. | 711 |
| Buzz Aldrin | We could have human intelligence in orbit around Mars, building things there. | 712 |
| Donald Trump | We need a president with tremendous intelligence, smarts, cunning, strength and stamina. | 713 |
| Victor Hugo | Scepticism, that dry caries of the intelligence. | 720 |
| Ralph Waldo Emerson | Genius always finds itself a century too early. | 811 |
| Richard Dawkins | Of course, we would love to know more about the exact moment of Big Bang, but interposing an outside intelligence does nothing to add to that knowledge, as we still know nothing about the creation of that intelligence. | 811 |
| Dolly Parton | They say somebody's 'street smart.' I feel like, if I got intelligence, it's just a country smart. | 812 |
| Noam Chomsky | The close Turkish-Israeli relations go back to the late 1950s - military intelligence, commercial, more recently, tourism and cultural relations. | 813 |
| Elliott Abrams | The Obama administration appears to regard intelligence leaks and briefings more or less like briefings by the Democratic National Committee or White House flack Jay Carney. You use any information at hand, classified or not, and you spin it any way you like, fairly or not. | 813 |
| Elliott Abrams | What does 'politicizing intelligence' mean? Using intel, or more often, partial intel, to produce an effect in line with White House policies rather than giving a full picture of a particular situation. | 816 |
| Donald Trump | We need intelligence in this country. We need a certain toughness in this country, or we're going to end up like a lot of the other places, and we're not going to have a country left. | 817 |
| Hillary Clinton | In the aftermath of September 11, and as the 9/11 Commission report so aptly demonstrates, it is clear that our intelligence system is not working the way that it should. | 820 |
| Oscar Wilde | The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius. | 902 |
| Henry David Thoreau | Shall I not have intelligence with the earth? Am I not partly leaves and vegetable mould myself. | 904 |
| George Bernard Shaw | I would like to take you seriously, but to do so would be an affront to your intelligence. | 908 |
| Elliott Abrams | In the spring of 2007, Israeli intelligence brought to Washington proof that the Assad regime in Syria was building a nuclear reactor along the Euphrates - with North Korean help. This reactor was a copy of the Yongbyon reactor the North Koreans had built, and was part of a Syrian nuclear weapons program. | 912 |
| Rush Limbaugh | George W. Bush attended the intelligence briefing every day. Obama has not even attended half of them. He sends surrogates. That to me is significant. | 1011 |
| Marco Rubio | And I believe only with a strong America will we defeat this radical group, this apocalyptic group called ISIS. That's why when I'm president we are going to rebuild our intelligence capabilities. And they're going to tell us where the terrorists are. And a rebuilt U.S. military is going to destroy these terrorists. | 1101 |
| Hillary Clinton | With respect to Iraq, I did favour the continuity of American forces to work with the new Maliki government. They had enormous needs for intelligence, for training on everything from airplanes to more sophisticated ground equipment and the like. | 1105 |
| Richard Dawkins | I'm pretty sure there is some genetic component towards intelligence. | 1201 |
| Noam Chomsky | When Rumsfeld gets up on television and says we have definitive intelligence that al Qaeda is working with Iraq, how is an ordinary citizen supposed to react? They won't tell you the evidence, and when anyone asks, they say, 'Well, you know: It's secret.' | 1212 |
| Bill Gates | There's no such thing as going to a soapbox and saying, 'The government's corrupt,' and not having the intelligence service see your face. In the digital world, that can be done. | 1313 |
