Foreign Intelligence

Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or intelligence:

“Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.”
—George Washington (1732–1799)

“But it is impossible that the creative power should exclude itself. Into every intelligence there is a door which is never closed, through which the creator passes.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
