I need the money, people are very coy about money, and the ladies aren't just coy, they are sci fi about money… …people ask, well, don't sweet things happen? yes, indeed, many sweet things, but sweet doesn't keep you from dying, making love doesn't keep you from dying unless you get paid, writing doesn't keep you from dying unless you get paid, being wise doesn't keep you from dying unless you get paid, facts are facts, being poor makes you face facts which also does not keep you from dying Picture Quote #1

We might be wise to follow the insight of the enraptured heart rather than the more cautious reasoning of the theological mind Picture Quote #1

To make wealth wisdom, one needs to be wise. Wisdom may be able to wear the suit of wealth but wealth may not be able to wear the suit of wisdom Picture Quote #1

That man is best who sees the truth himself. Good too is he who listens to wise counsel. But who is neither wise himself nor willing to ponder wisdom is not worth a straw Picture Quote #1

I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and impatient of restraint Picture Quote #1

He is very imprudent, a dog; he never makes it his business to inquire whether you are in the right or the wrong, never asks whether you are rich or poor, silly or wise, sinner or saint. You are his pal. That is enough for him Picture Quote #1

Life will always remain a gamble, with prizes sometimes for the imprudent, and blanks so often to the wise Picture Quote #1

Deign on the passing world to turn thine eyes, and pause a while from learning to be wise. There mark what ills the scholar's life assail - toil, envy, want, the patron, and the jail Picture Quote #1

It is necessary to have party organization if we are to have effective and efficient government. The only difference between a mob and a trained army is organization, and the only difference between a disorganized country and one that has the advantage of a wise and sound government is fundamentally a question of organization Picture Quote #1

Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God Picture Quote #1

I am really sorry to see my countrymen trouble themselves about politics. If men were wise, the most arbitrary princes could not hurt them.

Every man is wise when attacked by a mad dog; fewer when pursued by a mad woman; only the wisest survive when attacked by a mad notion Picture Quote #1
