"It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value." ― Arthur C. Clarke Topic(s): Intelligence More From Arthur C. Clarke "I have a fantasy where Ted Turner is elected President but refuses because he doesn’t want to give up power." "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." "Politicians should read science fiction, not westerns and detective stories." More In Intelligence "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 "The accidental causes of science are only accidents relatively to the intelligence of a man."― Chauncey Wright "I have two main reasons for retiring. The first is I can no longer play at a level I was accustomed to in the past. That has been very, very frustrating to me throughout this past year. The second one is realizing my health, along with my family, is the most important thing in the world."― Mario Lemeiux
