Intelligence agencies keep things secret because they often violate the rule of law or of good behavior.
My experience is the White House is not a very good place to coordinate intelligence, much less to integrate it.

So there is a foreign intelligence purpose for every one of our FISA warrants.
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.
I’m working on artificial intelligence. Actually, natural language understanding, which is to get computers to understand the meaning of documents.

A person must have a certain amount of intelligent ignorance to get anywhere.
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.
Success means at least you are finding full potential to who you are in terms of your intelligence, your capability and competence: you are finding full expression to who you are. This is important.
Being a unique superpower undermines the military intelligence of strategy. To think strategically, one has to imagine oneself in the enemy’s place.

I refuse to be molded into some stereotypical ballplayer that has no interests, really, no life, no depth, no intelligence.

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.

I think that animals aren’t less intelligent than humans, they’re just of a different intelligence.

It’s about the unbelievable destructiveness and staying power of bad ideas and about finding ways to equip people with the tools they need to fight them.
Self-awareness is a trait – or maybe ‘practice’ is the more accurate way to put it – that everyone can always improve at.
