Intelligence Quotes
-
Art is a form of intelligence, it can be developed, it's linked to intuition and it's something that all humans have
Alonzo King
-
When I saw the newspaper headline "Gas Chamber Expert Captured" and an American lieutenant explained it to me, I was pale in amazement. How can they say such things about me? I told you I was only in charge of the Intelligence Service from 1943 on. The British even admitted that they tried to assassinate me because of that, not because of having anything to do with atrocities, you can be sure of that.
Ernst Kaltenbrunner
-
You've got to jump off cliffs and build your wings on the way down.
Ray Bradbury
-
I don't concede it at all that the intelligence at the time was wrong.
Tony Blair
-
Man's brain is, after all, the greatest natural resource.
Karl Brandt
-
The issue, as correctly emphasized by Carl Sagan, is the probability of the evolution of high intelligence and an electronic civilization on an inhabited world. Once we have life (and almost surely it will be very different from life on Earth), what is the probability of its developing a lineage with high intelligence? On Earth, among millions of lineages of organisms and perhaps 50 billion speciation events, only one led to high intelligence; this makes me believe in its utter improbability.
Ernst Mayr
-
There are more fools than wise men, and even in a wise man there is more folly than wisdom.
Sébastien-Roch Nicolas
-
People sometimes accuse me of knowing a lot. "Stephen," they say, accusingly, "you know a lot." This is a bit like telling a person who has a few grains of sand clinging to him that he owns much sand. When you consider the vast amount of sand there is in the world such a person is, to all intents and purposes, sandless. We are all sandless. We are all ignorant. There are beaches and deserts and dunes of knowledge whose existance we have never even guessed at, let alone visited.
Stephen Fry
-
Prejudice is the child of ignorance.
William Hazlitt
-
There's a heart beneath the boobs and a brain beneath the wig.
Dolly Parton
-
A dream is a creation of the intelligence, the creator being present but not knowing how it will end.
Cesare Pavese
-
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.
Erik Brynjolfsson
-
Your intelligence often bears the same relation to your heart as the library of a chateau does to its owner.
Sébastien-Roch Nicolas
-
There is One Infinite Mind which of necessity includes all that is, whether it be the intelligence in man, the life in the animal, or the invisible Presence which is God.
Ernest Holmes
-
Intelligence tests require that certain things be figured out, but the figuring out doesn’t count. If the figuring out leads to the right answer, then of course the right answer counts. But no tester will ever know and no score will ever reveal whether the right answer was a triumph of imagination and intellectual daring, or whether the child knew the right answer all along. In addition, the more time the child spends on figuring things out on the test, the less time there is for filling in the right answers; that is, the more you actually think to get the right answers on an intelligence test, the less intelligent the score will look.
Eleanor Duckworth
-
It takes a surprisingly large amount of intelligence to be a professional idiot.
Brad Williams
