Instead of looking at life as a narrowing funnel we can see it ever widening to choose the things we want to do to take the wisdom we've learned and create something.

I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients.

The key to wisdom is knowing all the right questions.

I feel increasingly like age is very irrelevant. Quite often cynicism is confused with wisdom and my scorn is confused with a knowing which I don't have.

One part of wisdom is knowing what you don't need anymore and letting it go.

Wisdom is knowing when you can't be wise.

Wisdom consists not so much in knowing what to do in the ultimate as knowing what to do next.

Wisdom oft times consists of knowing what to do next.

Wisdom is knowing what to do next virtue is doing it.

Knowing others is wisdom knowing yourself is Enlightenment.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

Growing up I had one very specific idea of what a wedding should be and that was the wedding of Fraulein Maria and Captain von Trapp in 'The Sound of Music.'

Priorities like winning the War on Terror and providing tax relief that will keep our economy growing strong.

When I was growing up it was 'Communists'. Now it's 'Terrorists'. So you always have to have somebody to fight and be afraid of so the war machine can build more bombs guns and bullets and everything.

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.

When I was a youngster growing up in South Dakota we never referred to the national debt it was always referred to as the war debt because it stemmed from World War I.

To attempt seeing Truth without knowing Falsehood. It is the attempt to see the Light without knowing the Darkness. It cannot be.
