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.

Belief is the death of 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.

My dad used to say 'Just because you dress up in a coat and tie it doesn't influence your intelligence.'

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.

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.

Men create real miracles when they use their God-given courage and intelligence.

Clear thinking requires courage rather than intelligence.

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.

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.

Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.

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.

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.

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.

The best intelligence test is what we do with our leisure.

I really admire a woman for her intelligence her personality. Beauty is not enough.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sculpture is the art of the intelligence.

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.

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.
