"It takes an extraordinary intelligence to contemplate the obvious." ― Alfred North Whitehead Topic(s): Intelligence More From Alfred North Whitehead "No period of history has ever been great or ever can be that does not act on some sort of high, idealistic motives, and idealism in our time has been shoved aside, and we are paying the penalty for it." "Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them." "Fools act on imagination without knowledge, pedants act on knowledge without imagination." More In Intelligence "But by providing the background picture – the universal situational awareness that we desire – by showing the anomalies, the Space-Based Radar will change the nature of how we do our analysis and our intelligence."― Stephen Cambone "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 "Nothing has caused the human race so much trouble as intelligence."― John Michael Hayes
