- We all agree that pessimism is a mark of superior intellect.
- John Kenneth Galbraith on Intelligence
- 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.
- Betty Dodson on Intelligence
- We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. But they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.
- Timothy Leary on Intelligence
- We are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought.
- Bertrand Russell on Intelligence
- We are in this business, whether it be intelligence or the government, to protect freedom, democracy and liberty, not to violate that.
- John O. Brennan on Intelligence
- 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.
- Jane Harman on Intelligence
- 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.
- Peter King on Intelligence
- We had periodic crises in this country when the technical intelligence didn't support the policy. We had the bomber gap, the missile gap.
- Aldrich Ames on Intelligence
- 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.
- Zbigniew Brzezinski on Intelligence
- 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.
- Brad Thor on Intelligence
- 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.
- Stephen Cambone on Intelligence
- We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.
- George Orwell on Intelligence
- 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?
- Erin Gray on Intelligence
- 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.
- Condoleezza Rice on Intelligence
- We live less and less, and we learn more and more. Sensibility is surrendering to intelligence.
- Remy De Gourmont on Intelligence
- We need to make a greater investment in human intelligence.
- Bob Graham on Intelligence
- 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.
- John Fiske on Intelligence
- 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.
- Bob Graham on Intelligence
- 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.
- Henri Bergson on Intelligence
- We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.
- Carl Jung on Intelligence
- We should take care not to make the intellect our god it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.
- Albert Einstein on Intelligence
- 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.
- John Sununu on Intelligence
- We will strengthen our security by building missile defense, restoring our military might, and standing by and strengthening our intelligence officers.
- Mitt Romney on Intelligence
- We worked to develop our own operations to advance U.S. counterterrorism objectives by penetrating terrorist safe havens and collecting intelligence that would inform policy and enable our own operations.
- Cofer Black on Intelligence
- 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.
- John Mica on Intelligence
- 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.
- Michael Chertoff on Intelligence
- Wealth, in even the most improbable cases, manages to convey the aspect of intelligence.
- John Kenneth Galbraith on Intelligence
- Week after week, the heads of Red Army Intelligence received updates on the Wehrmacht's preparations.
- Leopold Trepper on Intelligence
- 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.
- Leon Panetta on Intelligence
- 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.
- Robert Sternberg on Intelligence
- Well, I think there's a distinction between sexing-up the intelligence and sexing-up the presentation of the intelligence.
- John Major on Intelligence
- Well, it's a - I don't want to disappoint you, but it's a time worn tradition of Australian Governments over many years not to get into any discussion about that aspect of intelligence matters.
- Alexander Downer on Intelligence
- 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.
- Richard Ben-Veniste on Intelligence
- What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult.
- Sigmund Freud on Intelligence
- Whatever debases the intelligence degrades the entire human being.
- Simone Weil on Intelligence
- 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.
- Carl Levin on Intelligence
- When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.
- Jonathan Swift on Intelligence
- 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.
- Gary Gygax on Intelligence
- 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.
- George Tenet on Intelligence
- 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.
- Scott Ritter on Intelligence
- When I see a dolphin, I know it's just as smart as I am.
- Don Van Vliet on Intelligence
- 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.
- Robert M. Gates on Intelligence
- 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.
- Daniel Goleman on Intelligence
- 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.'
- Brian Eno on Intelligence
- 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.
- Barack Obama on Intelligence
- Wherever smart people work, doors are unlocked.
- Steve Wozniak on Intelligence
- 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.
