Famous quotes containing the words foreign, intelligence and/or information:
“The important thing about travel in foreign lands is that it breaks the speech habits and makes you blab less, and breaks the habitual space-feeling because of different village plans and different landscapes. It is less important that there are different mores, for you counteract these with your own reaction- formations.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
“Having intelligence is not as important as knowing when to use it, just as having a hoe is not as important as knowing when to plant.”
—Chinese proverb.
