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.

I shall proceed from the simple to the complex. But in war more than in any other subject we must begin by looking at the nature of the whole for here more than elsewhere the part and the whole must always be thought of together.

War consisteth not in battle only or the act of fighting but in a tract of time wherein the will to contend by battle is sufficiently known.

With acting you wanna see if you can get into trouble without knowing how you're gonna get out of it. It's like the exact opposite of war where you need an exit strategy. When you're acting you should get all the way into trouble with no exit strategy and have the cameras rolling.

We've got to keep an eye on the battle that we face - a war on workers. And you see it everywhere. It is the Tea Party. And there's only one way to beat and win that war - the one thing about working people is we like a good fight.

Hurtling the Pentagon into an unprecedented budgetary meltdown is horrifically irresponsible. Obama doesn't care. This is war - not against the Taliban but war against the GOP. He has Republicans on the ropes and that's a victory he savors and desires - unlike Afghanistan where he seems only to want to turn tail.

Yes quaint and curious war is! You shoot a fellow down you'd treat if met where any bar is or help to half-a-crown.

What a man knows is everywhere at war with what he wants.

Brainy folks were also present in Lyndon Johnson's administration especially in the Pentagon where Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara's brilliant 'whiz kids' tried to micro-manage the Vietnam war with disastrous results.

I will not play tug o' war. I'd rather play hug o' war. Where everyone hugs instead of tugs Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug Where everyone kisses and everyone grins and everyone cuddles and everyone wins.
