America is a land where men govern but women rule.

I think that maybe if women and children were in charge we would get somewhere.

What could be more lonely than to be enveloped in silence to be the last of your people to speak your native tongue to have no way to pass on the wisdom of the elders to anticipate the promise of the children. This tragic fate is indeed the plight of someone somewhere roughly every two weeks.

Books give not wisdom where none was before. But where some is there reading makes it more.

Where fear is present wisdom cannot be.

This land which we have watered with our tears and our blood is now our mother country and we are well satisfied to stay where wisdom abounds and gospel is free.

There's the conventional wisdom of which I have none where you get a record deal you get a publicist you get a campaign and you do the tour but none of that adds up to things like nuance and subtlety and dynamic.

I always see where I didn't do things the right way. I only see the heavy lifting. That's a bit of my wisdom if you want to call it that.

The Divine wisdom has given us prayer not as a means whereby to obtain the good things of earth but as a means whereby we learn to do without them not as a means whereby we escape evil but as a means whereby we become strong to meet it.

It is almost everywhere the case that soon after it is begotten the greater part of human wisdom is laid to rest in repositories.

Follow your instincts. That's where true wisdom manifests itself.

If you want to be found stand where the seeker seeks.

Wisdom is the quality that keeps you from getting into situations where you need it.

I didn't get where I am today by worryin' about how I'd feel tomorrow.

We should not judge people by their peak of excellence but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.

Do not go where the path may lead go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

I had a 2-week courtship with a fellow student in the fiction workshop in Iowa and a 5-minute wedding in a lawyer's office above the coffee shop where we'd been having lunch that day. And so I sent a cable to my father saying 'By the time you get this Daddy I'll already be Mrs. Blaise!'

Where does it stop? You get offered money for your wedding then for your kids new houses holidays... We earn enough from football and sponsorships why do you need any more?

The wedding took place in Vermont where they have legalized gay civil unions and I married a woman.

I think if you're at the point where you're popular enough to sell your wedding photos to OK! Magazine then you don't need the money.

We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elects a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons.

I want to start my own airplane business. I'm going to buy two Dakotas paint them up in war colours and do er nostalgia trips to Arnhem - you know where the old paratroopers used to go - and charge them about 20 quid a time.

I mean I was born the day war broke out but I don't remember all the bombs though they did actually break up Liverpool you know. I remember when I was a little older there was big gaps in all the streets where houses used to be. We used to play over them.

I started studying what the nature of a monument is and what a monument should be. And for the World War III memorial I designed a futile almost terrifying passage that ends nowhere.
