Public opinion is no more than this: what people think that other people think.

Some folks are wise and some are otherwise.

Memory is the mother of all wisdom.

Better be wise by the misfortunes of others than by your own.

From the errors of others a wise man corrects his own.

Knowing others is wisdom knowing yourself is Enlightenment.

A mistake is simply another way of doing things.

When written in Chinese the word 'crisis' is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity.

We are all so close. We are godfather to each others' kids. I was the best man at Jesus' wedding.

We all went to Kelsey's wedding and yeah we go to parties. We also go to each other's house. A group of us got together over at Kelsey's and just read through some plays just for the fun of it. That may not be everyone's idea of a good time but we had a good time.

When I auditioned for 'Wedding Crashers ' the producers had never seen any of my other work except for Bond. I got 'Wedding Crashers' partly because I was a Bond girl.

I use filming as an excuse to take classes. I got my certification in sailing for 'Wedding Crashers ' and now I can handle a 26-foot boat. I played a seamstress once so I took sewing classes. I love dipping into these other lives.

I sang a song at my sister's wedding. My mother forced me into that too. But that one felt all right.

All War Departments are now Defense Departments. This is all part of the doubletalk of our time. The aggressor is always on the other side.

I am still profoundly troubled by the war in Nicaragua. The United States launched a covert war against another nation in violation of international law a war that was wrong and immoral.

I had two family members involved in World War I: two great-uncles. One of them is on a memorial in France. And the other was a trench runner who survived the war. The average life span of a trench runner was 36 hours but he survived the whole war.

My mother lived in Holland and during World War II was incarcerated in a Japanese camp for three years.

I frankly don't think it's going to be a successful war on terrorism until law enforcement agencies like the FBI are willing to share with other law enforcement agencies. If they can't share information there's no way this war can be won.

In our modern world of interdependent nations hardly any state can wage war successfully without raising loans and buying war materials of every kind in the markets of other nations.

You should be careful what you wish for as the reasons for war get confused. One person can be very clear in their motives but others can have different agendas.

For the sake of the troops for the love of the troops we must not add yet another casualty to this war. We must not let truth be a casualty of this war.

You don't attack the grunts of Vietnam you blame the theory behind the war. Nobody who fought in that war was at fault. It was the war itself that was at fault. It's the same thing with psychotherapy.

I don't think the Middle East could afford another war.

I don't feel the need to direct. I tried to get other people to direct Dances but they wouldn't do it. They all thought it was too long. One director wanted to cut the Civil War sequence. Another thought the white woman was very cliched.
