Brian Eno
[Republicans in Hess's youth] represented the only strong anti-imperalist political position. Anti-imperialist? Republicans? Uh-huh. But Republicans were not smart enough to call it that. They let it be labeled isolationism, as though they wanted the United States to sneak off the world stage, slam the doors, and bolt the windows. The underlying Republican argument, that we should trade with everyone but not interfere with or intervene in their internal politics, was lost behind that unattractive label. View quote
Karl Hess

Dave Eggers
The great thing about the U.S. economy right now is that we are the smart kids in the stupid-kid class. America has fiscal problems and gridlock issues and polarity and partisanship in Congress -- and yet, compared to Japan and Europe, the U.S. looks great. View quote
Ian Bremmer
Ask yourself: "Do I police what people say for political propriety? ... do I scrutinize great literature, music, art, television or comedy for signs of so-called sexism, racism, elitism, homophobia, antisemitism and meanness? Am I incapable of appreciating a superbly written script or book; a sublime painting or symphony; a smart stand-up routine, if only because the material and its creator violate the received laws of political correctness?

While the Left controls the intellectual means of production-schools (primary, secondary, tertiary), media, foundations, think tanks, publishing prints-the 'Respectable Right' is hardly on the outs with the liberal smart set. (Ilana Mercer)
Fox News' Megyn Kelly has fast succumbed to the female instinct to show-off, bare skin, flirt and wink. She now also regularly motormouths it over the occasional smart guest she entertains (correction: the one smart guest, Ann Coulter). At the same time, Kelly has dignified the tinnitus named Dana Perino with a daily slot as Delphic-oracle. View quote

You can't control how lucky you are, you can't control how smart you are, but you can control how hard you work. View quote
Michael Bloomberg
I realised fairly early that the 'wisdom of the ages' - whether from 3000 years ago or yesterday - often was simply and perfectly adaptable to the context of the football arena, and immensely valuable. From my regular morning habit of reading, I would write down any wise, pragmatic and smart quotes and ideas that struck me, and that I felt could be of use in coaching. View quote
Jack Gibson
The game today is entirely different to when I played. But I still think it's pretty smart. Maybe the biggest change lies in the simple fact that if you're a bit slow today, mentally or physically, you're not going to survive. View quote
Jack Gibson
Think of all the smart people made stupid by flaws of character. The finest watch isn't fine long when used as a hammer. View quote

The Nexus 7 is about the same size as a Moleskine notebook, and it just 'feels' like the right form factor for doing all those things you want to do on a smart phone, but can't quite do in the right way. It's not too big, and not too small - just right. View quote
John Battelle

John Avlon
If [Apple] is smart it will call the iPhone a "reference design" and pass it to some suckers to build with someone else's marketing budget. Then it can wash its hands of any marketplace failures. It should do that immediately before it's too late. View quote
John C. Dvorak
'Smart power' is the use of American power in ways that would help prevent and resolve conflict - not just send our military in. View quote
Hillary Clinton
I don't think that strategically it is smart to begin cutting your options when the other side does not move at all. (Hillary Clinton)
I don't think Julia Roberts is as innocent as her image suggests. You have to be a really smart cookie to create an image as clean and pure and on-the-money as hers. View quote
Sharon Stone
Zimbabweans are so smart and witty and able to weave together tons of situations and experiences into terminologies that are just utterly original. View quote
Danai Gurira
"You think you're so smart" is never a compliment; the only thing worse than being smart is thinking that you are. View quote
Laura Penny
There were three types of people in the world, Elizabeth believed. Some, like Cassidy, were naïve and full of ridiculous scruples that held them back from ever enjoying life. Others, like that Allison and Nicole, were phonies who pretended to care about others. And some-only a few-were like her. Strong enough to take what they could. And smart enough not to get caught.
