Seth Shostak"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.

Stacy Schiff"One of the best things you can do to get on an engineer's good side is make him feel as much like a regular person as possible, without insulting his intelligence.

Sarah Cooper"The media has zero integrity, zero intelligence, and no hard work. You're the opposition party. Not the Democratic Party. You're the opposition party. The media's the opposition party."

Rekha Sharma"Policing is an integral part of governance. It is a whole, but it is also a part of the larger whole. Just like a human organ like the head, it's got intelligence, stamina, strategy and surveillance. But it cannot function independently in the absence of other life-sustaining organs."
Kiran Bedi"The key thing about force protection is... if you focus too much on force protection, and you disengage yourself from the community, you're putting yourself at greater risk because you need to interact with the community in a positive way to gain the intelligence you need."

David Bowie"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."

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."

Wayne Dyer"Mad, adj. Affected with a high degree of intellectual independence."

Israel, with the most efficient intelligence, security and police has not been able to eliminate the problem, despite the small size of the country."
Prashant Bhushan"Like all technologies before it, artificial intelligence will reflect the values of its creators. So inclusivity matters - from who designs it to who sits on the company boards and which ethical perspectives are included."
Kate Crawford"An organization's intelligence is distributed to the point of being ubiquitous."
Kevin Kelly"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.

Seth Shostak"That we have had to sue in federal court to discover the truth speaks volumes. The FBI has built a protective stonewall around Comey by refusing to release the Comey memos and refusing to disclose records of communications between the FBI and Comey prior to and regarding Comey's testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee."

Alice McDermott"Wealth, in even the most improbable cases, manages to convey the aspect of intelligence."
John Kenneth Galbraith"Self-awareness is a trait - or maybe 'practice' is the more accurate way to put it - that everyone can always improve at.

Portia de Rossi"Man is an intelligence in servitude to his organs."
Aldous Huxley"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."
Michael Hayden"Emotional intelligence is a very important skill set, not just to be happier but also to succeed professionally."
Daniel Lubetzky"Intelligence seems to blossom in the barest ground."
Charles Murray"Artificial intelligence is growing up fast, as are robots whose facial expressions can elicit empathy and make your mirror neurons quiver."
Diane Ackerman"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."
Oriana Fallaci"Swarm intelligence is like a brain of brains."
Louis B. Rosenberg"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."
Abigail Adams"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."

Donald Rumsfeld"Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another."
Immanuel Kant"Nothing has caused the human race so much trouble as intelligence."
John Michael Hayes"It has always been my private conviction that any man who puts his intelligence up against a fish and loses had it coming."
John Steinbeck"Digital is really two things. It refers to a set of technologies, everything from artificial intelligence to the use of e-commerce. But digital is really about a different way of working, of making decisions, of partnering and reaching your clients, and so it's also about how you do things."
Julie Sweet"Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory."
Leonardo da Vinci"The intelligent man who is proud of his intelligence is like the condemned man who is proud of his large cell."
Simone Weil"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."
Mikko Hypponen"My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense."
Helen Gurley Brown"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."
Ozzy Osbourne"Across all U.S. intelligence agencies, there is a lack of cultural respect and a poorly tuned attitude toward foreign peoples and cultures."
Malcolm Nance"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."
Marianne Williamson"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."
Virginia Woolf"Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses."
Quentin Crisp"A game is great, in my view, only if it can be played happily by a sane person of at least average intelligence for several hours a day for fifty years. Both pool and billiards qualify."
Robert Byrne"Politeness decrees that you must listen to be kind; intelligence decrees that you must listen to learn."
Letitia Baldrige"From the lowest animals of which we can affirm intelligence up to man this type of intellect is found."
Edward Thorndike"There is huge demand for artificial intelligence technologies."

B. F. Skinner"What's more valuable - intelligence or consciousness?"
Yuval Noah Harari"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."
Louisa Hall"I'm a big advocate of financial intelligence."
Daymond John"'Liberal Fascism' is less an expose of left-wing hypocrisy than a chance to exact political revenge. Yet, the title of his book aside, what distinguishes Goldberg from the Sean Hannitys and Michael Savages is a witty intelligence that deals in ideas as well as insults - no mean feat in the nasty world of the culture wars."
David Oshinsky"Sooner or later, the U.S. will face mounting job losses due to advances in automation, artificial intelligence, and robotics."
Oren Etzioni"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."
John Jay Hooker"Many intelligence reports in war are contradictory; even more are false, and most are uncertain."
Carl von Clausewitz"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."
Tabatha Coffey"The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination."
Albert Einstein"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."
Mark Kennedy"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."
Jimmy Chin"Strong government doesn't mean simply military power or an efficient intelligence apparatus. Instead, it should mean effective, fair administration - in other words, 'good governance.'"
Raghuram Rajan"Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence."
H. L. Mencken"Football is a game about feelings and intelligence."
Jose Mourinho"Leadership is all about emotional intelligence. Management is taught, while leadership is experienced."
Rajeev Suri"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."
Wale"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."
Joseph Franklin Rutherford"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."
Daniel Goleman"There is no logical reason why the camel of great art should pass through the needle of mob intelligence."
Rebecca West"By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it."
Eliezer Yudkowsky"Like in great painting and architecture, in couture, to make clothes you must eliminate, eliminate, eliminate to obtain the true sense of a line. You see, the more you add, the more you load on, the more it's mad. You must try to have just the silhouette, which is an intelligence in clothes."
Hubert de Givenchy"In intelligence work, there are limits to the amount of information one can share. Confidentiality is essential."
Gijs de Vries"Some people call this artificial intelligence, but the reality is this technology will enhance us. So instead of artificial intelligence, I think we'll augment our intelligence."
Ginni Rometty"We should take care not to make the intellect our goal; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality."
Albert Einstein"Intelligence is not a science."
Frank Carlucci"Genius creates, and taste preserves. Taste is the good sense of genius; without taste, genius is only sublime folly."
Alexander Pope"Thought is a strenuous art - few practice it, and then only at rare times. -David Ben"
Gurion"In my experience as CEO, I found that the most important decisions tested my courage far more than my intelligence."
Ben Horowitz"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."
Studs Terkel"Keanu has such generosity and intelligence, not to mention a warmth that I'm eager to tap into. We're all incredibly excited that he's agreed to help us bring 'To the Bone' to life."
Marti Noxon"An intelligence test sometimes shows a man how smart he would have been not to have taken it."
Laurence J. Peter"There is a lot of strength and intelligence in Hollywood."

Marilyn vos Savant"If we are going to conduct espionage in the future, we are going to have to make some changes in the relationship between the intelligence community and the public it serves."
Michael Hayden"When Russia's intelligence agencies obtained some of the National Security Agency's secrets about its own cyberweapons, it appeared to do so by manipulating a virus protection program sold by Kaspersky, a Russian firm."
David E. Sanger"There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure."
Dwight D. Eisenhower"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."
Monica Bellucci"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."
Naveen Jain"The promise of artificial intelligence and computer science generally vastly outweighs the impact it could have on some jobs in the same way that, while the invention of the airplane negatively affected the railroad industry, it opened a much wider door to human progress."
Paul Allen"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?'"
Bill Maher"Intelligence may be taken as a necessary, but not sufficient, cause of moral advance. All morally advanced children are bright, but not all bright children are morally advanced."
Lawrence Kohlberg"A year spent in artificial intelligence is enough to make one believe in God."
Alan Perlis"I'm a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will."
Antonio Gramsci"Intelligence is sexy. Don't play dumb, especially young girls. Don't play dumb. And let people see that you are intelligent."
Iman"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."
Eliezer Yudkowsky"Educate the masses, elevate their standard of intelligence, and you will certainly have a successful nation."
Alexander Graham Bell"Openness explains the ability to innovate and come up with big ideas because you're open to them, and fluid intelligence explains the ability to go and execute."
Adeo Ressi"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."
Marcel Duchamp"There is no reason and no way that a human mind can keep up with an artificial intelligence machine by 2035."
Gray Scott"Chess is as elaborate a waste of human intelligence as you can find outside an advertising agency."
Raymond Chandler"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."
Sophia Bush"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."
John le Carre"One thought fills immensity."
William Blake"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?"
James C. Maxwell"Every true genius is bound to be naive."
Friedrich Schiller"There is nobody so irritating as somebody with less intelligence and more sense than we have."
Don Herold"Like many intellectuals, he was incapable of saying a simple thing in a simple way."

Carole King"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."
Lev Vygotsky"Genomics, Artificial Intelligence, and Deep Machine learning technologies are helping practitioners deliver better diagnosis and actually freeing up time for patient interaction."
Frans van Houten"The popular dystopian vision of AI is wrong for one simple reason: it equates intelligence with autonomy. That is, it assumes a smart computer will create its own goals and have its own will and will use its faster processing abilities and deep databases to beat humans at their own game."
Oren Etzioni"Intelligence is usually easy to tell in a 10-minute conversation. Determination is harder."
Sam Altman"The people who work in intelligence work are more conscious, more apt to be attentive."

Carol S. Dweck"Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language."
Ludwig Wittgenstein"Intelligence is not to make no mistakes, but quickly to see how to make them good."
Bertolt Brecht"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."
Neil deGrasse Tyson"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."
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart"I'm more frightened than interested by artificial intelligence - in fact, perhaps fright and interest are not far away from one another. Things can become real in your mind, you can be tricked, and you believe things you wouldn't ordinarily. A world run by automatons doesn't seem completely unrealistic any more. It's a bit chilling."
Gemma Whelan"Clear thinking requires courage rather than intelligence."
Thomas Szasz"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."
Emanuel Swedenborg"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."

Steve Mollenkopf"Intelligence, knowledge or experience are important and might get you a job, but strong communication skills are what will get you promoted."
Mireille Guiliano"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."
Julian Castro"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."
Albert Einstein"Man knows so much and does so little."
R. Buckminster Fuller"The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius."
Oscar Wilde"You need emotional intelligence; to be happy to take risks; to be competitive and to look forward not backwards."
Deborah Meaden"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."
Tom Wolfe"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."
David Bowie"Understanding vision and building visual systems is really understanding intelligence. -Fei"
Fei Li"Despite all the hype and excitement about AI, it's still extremely limited today relative to what human intelligence is."
Andrew Ng"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."
Daniel Goleman"Instead of assuming that emotional intelligence is always useful, we need to think more carefully about where and when it matters."
Adam Grant"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."
F. Scott Fitzgerald"Trump's alliance with Russia's Vladimir Putin, in defiance of America's own intelligence community, the Department of Justice, and the bipartisan report of the Senate Intelligence Committee, forces us to face that the fundamental principles of our nation are under attack."
Heather Cox Richardson"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."
James Dobson"Three-quarters of the sicknesses of intelligent people come from their intelligence. They need at least a doctor who can understand this sickness."
Marcel Proust"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.'"
Arthur Compton"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."
Daniel Kahneman"You are just your intelligence."
Kalpana Chawla"The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him."
Niccolo Machiavelli"In the long term, artificial intelligence and automation are going to be taking over so much of what gives humans a feeling of purpose."
Matt Bellamy"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."
Shakira"With artificial intelligence, we are summoning the demon. You know all those stories where there's the guy with the pentagram and the holy water, and he's like, yeah, he's sure he can control the demon? Doesn't work out."
Elon Musk"I think artificial intelligence will likely change the character of warfare, and I believe whoever masters it first will dominate on the battlefield for many, many, many years."
Mark Esper"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."
Tanit Phoenix"People are very ready to criticize other people's accents. There's no correlation between accents and intelligence or accents and criminality, but people do make judgments."
David Crystal"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."
Sloan Wilson"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."
Klaus Schwab"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."
Ray Kurzweil"I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up."
Mark Twain"Wise thinkers prevail everywhere."
Sophocles"Genius always finds itself a century too early."
Ralph Waldo Emerson"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?"
Lynn Margulis"Artificial intelligence cannot solve the problem of not knowing what the hell you're doing and not really caring one way or the other. It's not a solution for shortsightedness and lack of transparency."
Sarah Jeong"I think intelligence is totally subjective; it's like sexiness."
David Fincher"I have always accepted intelligence was an honorable profession. We are all mindful of the need to comply with our moral values and the law."
James Clapper"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."
Joseph Pulitzer"A product can turn bad, not the production. When you start a film, you feel it will be great. But sometimes, as it progresses, it fails somewhere. You can't blame anyone for that. You can blame only your own intelligence!"
Mammootty"The No. 1 thing I am earnestly attracted to is intelligence."
Rachel Bloom"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."
Paul Bremer"The only path to build intelligent machines is to enable it with powerful visual intelligence, just like what animals did in evolution. -Fei"
Fei Li"Foolishness is rarely a matter of lack of intelligence or even lack of information."
John McCarthy"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."
Piet Mondrian"By the 2030s, the nonbiological portion of our intelligence will predominate."
Ray Kurzweil"What happens if you stick at something long enough, and study it for so long, you have a different kind of intelligence. It's not an intellectual thing. It's almost like an animal intelligence. I call it our form of instinct, almost how a lion knows exactly where its prey is."
Robert Greene"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."
Charles Munch"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."
Frank Carlucci"The intelligence community is governed by the same legal and ethical standards as the rest of American government and society, but an operational imperative is here, too. An intelligence community charged with global responsibilities cannot be successful without diversity of thought, culture and language."
Michael Hayden"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."
Monica Lewinsky"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."
Herbert Hoover"I ultimately got into robotics because for me, it was the best way to study intelligence."
Sebastian Thrun"The intelligence of the creature known as a crowd, is the square root of the number of people in it."

Christopher Columbus"Your intelligence doesn't override your desire to destroy yourself."
John Darnielle"It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value."
Arthur C. Clarke"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."
Huston Smith"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."
Neil deGrasse Tyson"Intelligence agencies keep things secret because they often violate the rule of law or of good behavior."
Julian Assange"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."
Edward Snowden"I often tell my students not to be misled by the name 'artificial intelligence' - there is nothing artificial about it. AI is made by humans, intended to behave by humans, and, ultimately, to impact humans' lives and human society. -Fei"
Fei Li"Public trust is a vital condition for artificial intelligence to be used productively."
Mark Walport"That which the Fascists hate above all else, is intelligence."
Miguel de Unamuno"Artificial intelligence is here and being rapidly commercialized, with new applications being created not just for manufacturing but also for energy, healthcare, and oil and gas. This will change how we all do business."
Joe Kaeser"Everybody has a hacking capability. And probably every intelligence service is hacking in the territory of other countries. But who exactly does what? That would be a very sensitive piece of information. But it's very difficult to communicate about it. Because nobody wants to admit the scope of what they're doing."
Henry Kissinger"No man likes to have his intelligence or good faith questioned, especially if he has doubts about it himself."
Henry Adams"As Irving Good realised in 1965, machines with superhuman intelligence could repeatedly improve their design even further, triggering what Vernor Vinge called a 'singularity.'"
Stephen Hawking"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."
Keith Henson"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."
Mikko Hypponen"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."
John Reid"Professionals refer to the stages of the intelligence cycle as collection, processing, analyzing and sharing information. In most cases, the implications and significance of raw pieces of information found in classified materials are reviewed and vetted to keep sensationalized and unsubstantiated accounts from being deemed credible."
Will Hurd"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."
Nick Denton"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."
Ellen DeGeneres"Too many problem-solving sessions become battlegrounds where decisions are made based on power rather than intelligence."
Margaret J. Wheatley"Counterintelligence is, in effect, chasing ghosts, which is why the tools used to investigate foreign intelligence activity are secret, like human sources or electronic surveillance."
Asha Rangappa"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."
W. E. B. Du Bois"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."
Oded Fehr"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."
Roger Ebert"Technology, through automation and artificial intelligence, is definitely one of the most disruptive sources."
Alain Dehaze"Science has not yet taught us if madness is or is not the sublimity of the intelligence."
Edgar Allan Poe"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."
Richard Armitage"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."
Michael Merzenich"Poets are the sense, philosophers the intelligence of humanity."
Samuel Beckett"Intelligence is the faculty of making artificial objects, especially tools to make tools."
Henri Bergson"We're living in an age where new technology offers gigantic upsides - artificial intelligence has the potential to diagnose cancer, catch serial killers and reduce prison populations."
Hannah Fry"I have always been convinced that the only way to get artificial intelligence to work is to do the computation in a way similar to the human brain. That is the goal I have been pursuing. We are making progress, though we still have lots to learn about how the brain actually works."
Geoffrey Hinton"Controlled aggression, to me, is one of the most important traits to have. To have that social intelligence to know when to exert aggression in the military environment, and when to stay calm, cool, and collected."
Jonny Kim"Ian Fleming was my cousin, you know. He was in naval intelligence."
Christopher Lee"Intelligence is the ability to solve problems, and consciousness is the ability to feel things and have subjective experiences."

Michio Kaku"Achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, identifying treatments to diseases like cancer, and harnessing the power of robotics and artificial intelligence to support everyday tasks are all within our grasp. The first country that gives birth to these discoveries will change life as we know it."
Alok Sharma"Everything in the universe has a purpose. Indeed, the invisible intelligence that flows through everything in a purposeful fashion is also flowing through you."
Wayne Dyer"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."
Thomas A. Edison"You have to talk about 'The Terminator' if you're talking about artificial intelligence. I actually think that that's way off. I don't think that an artificially intelligent system that has superhuman intelligence will be violent. I do think that it will disrupt our culture."
Gray Scott"We cannot blindly pursue the goal of machine intelligence without pondering its consequences."
Moshe Vardi"I don't think the intelligence reports are all that hot. Some days I get more out of the New York Times."
John F. Kennedy"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"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."
Freeman Dyson"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."
Ian Watson"You can't come forward against the world's most powerful intelligence agencies and be completely free from risk."

John Calvin"Democracy is a daring concept - a hope that we'll be best governed if all of us participate in the act of government.

Henry David Thoreau"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.

Annie Besant"Without question, women can act with bravery, foresight, and tactical intelligence."
Heather Mac Donald"We need to be vigilant about how we design and train these machine-learning systems, or we will see ingrained forms of bias built into the artificial intelligence of the future."

It's not my intelligence, it's not my abilities. This understanding makes me scared even in success. I don't own my success. Neither do I own my failure."
Pawan Kalyan"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.

Paul Watson"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."
Tabatha Coffey"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."
