"It is better to have a fair intellect that is well used than a powerful one that is idle." ― Bryant H. McGill Topic(s): Intelligence More From Bryant H. McGill "The ability to forgive is one of man’s greatest achievements." "Birth and death; we all move between these two unknowns." "An intelligent person is never afraid or ashamed to find errors in his understanding of things." More In Intelligence "You can see my guns at my apartment. The safe room is a special place… It’s good to have a safe room in your house. It’s storm-proof; we’ve got food, store supplies, all kinds of stuff."― Luke Scott "A great many people think that polysyllables are a sign of intelligence."― Barbara Walters "Here’s the teaching point, if you’re teaching kids about intelligence and policy: Intelligence does not absolve policymakers of responsibility to ask tough questions, and it doesn’t absolve them of having curiosity about the consequences of their actions."― George Tenet
