Have you ever observed that we pay much more attention to a wise passage when it is quoted than when we read it in the original author?

Philip G. Hamerton

The threat of a smoking ban is clouding the issue, and it is wise to remain cautious.

Greg Feehely

I think numbers-wise we were satisfied. We went into it wanting to keep as many of those guys as we could and we were able to do so. We're still trying to get Quincy. I think we're going to come out of it about as well as you can expect.

Art Rooney

Recently I heard a 'wise guy' story that I had a party at my home for twenty-five men. It's an interesting story, but I don't know twenty-five men I'd want to invite ta a party.

Joan Crawford

Count no woman wise, until thou hast received a letter from her hand; but love none thou hast not seen face to face, for she who is not foolish on paper is worth knowing.

Frank Gelett Burgess

The man who has never made a fool of himself in love will never be wise in love.

Theodor Reik

All of our games with Austin have been really close. But we've been working really hard conditioning-wise and we're physically in good shape. We've got our full team back after some injuries and the girls feel confident right now.

Mike Pline

If these regulations are tough, and if they are sound, then there may be some wisdom to it. The real question is, is the standard better than a jury could come up with during a trial?

Victor Schwartz

We were kind of heading south after dropping four in a row during the weekend, so this is definitely huge for us. It was probably the best we've played all season, offensively, defensively, pitching-wise and coaching-wise. Now we've just got to build on this and put something positive together.

Jon Wente

I believe that President Clinton considered the legal merits of the arguments for the pardon as he understood them, and he rendered his judgment, wise or unwise, on the merits.

John Podesta

We had some bad breaks go our way, penalty-wise, and we had to settle for field goals a couple of times and then we had the missed field goal.

Brad Turner

Scoring-wise that's a little high for [Paradis], but the shots were there and she was making them. That's wonderful. Her assist numbers have come up a lot in the second half of the season just because kids are understanding their roles more and are stepping in and getting ready to shoot.

Heath Cowan

Wise is he who enjoys the show offered by the world.

Fernando Pessoa

I think I have a lot more experience than he does with municipal matters, having four years in government already. However, he's an extremely popular and a wise man, and he'll be a formidable opponent.

Billy Job

To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future.

Plutarch

The wise man thinks about his troubles only when there is some purpose in doing so; at other times he thinks about others things.

Bertrand Russell

The biggest thing for me is injuries; that's what happens when you're tired. Scheduling-wise, personally I totally disagree with it. Especially the travel. It would be hard enough even if it was at home. When you're traveling, it's difficult on the body.

Dan Cleary

The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages is preserved into perpetuity by a nation's proverbs, fables, folk sayings and quotations.

William Feather

If the news events over the last couple days have raised any doubts in your mind about the wisdom of electing Arnold Schwarzenegger, I say to you, 'Come home, vote no on the recall.'

Gray Davis

If thou desire to purchase honor with thy wealth, consider first how that wealth became thine; if thy labor got it, let thy wisdom keep it; if oppression found it, let repentance restore it; if thy parent left it, let thy virtues deserve it; so shall thy honor be safer, better and cheaper.

Francis Quarles

[Weber seemed to buck conventional wisdom when comparing display power draws.] Everyone knows that LCDs use less power than PDPs, ... Is this really true?

Larry Weber

As the year progressed, things probably got worse. Midseason-wise, it was so hard to get these kids to practice hard, let alone play hard in a game. There were times we felt we had turned it around, only to have a hiccup.

John Carrick

I think talent-wise we're about equal, if not better. They're kind of banged up right now, so I think we have the upper hand on them.

Maurice Lane

For about two weeks I wanted be a director, then I got wise to that, ... I changed my emphasis from directing to writing, because when you're a director you need actors, equipment. Being a writer you need a pen and paper; there's no overhead.

Ross Lamanna

You can definitely tell we have a lot more experience. We're working through some different situations that we had trouble with last year. And we're trying to get better maturity wise. When things flustered our team last year, the guys started to fall apart. This year, that's not happening.

Darin Cummings

There has been a transformation of values to a too-sanitized, corporate convenience mode that markets a 'Dream' motif. There is a tide that extols — and extolled — the wisdom of Dr. Martin Luther King in a way that says that we are moving onward and upward. There is this tone of triumph that we have seen President Bush use when talking about the war in Iraq.

Loretta Williams

In terms of the rail, and the infrastructure bonds, there's a whole bunch of different funding pots within that. But to make negotiations with the state, we need to know what we are talking about money-wise.

Celia Mcadam

He's a great coach. He's a straight-forward guy. He knows what he's talking about technique-wise.

Lawrence Wilson

It was too much for the market to overcome. Otherwise, it could have been an even better year profit-wise if so much of (companies') earnings weren't deflected into energy costs.

Rick Meckler

America needs wisdom, not force. It had used force, along with the West, to its extreme extent, only to find out later that it did not achieve what they wanted.

Saddam Hussein

Morality is temporary, wisdom is permanent.

Hunter S. Thompson

A child plays so as an old man he can be wise.

Joey Novick

A wise unselfishness is not a surrender of yourself to the wishes of anyone, but only to the best discoverable course of action.

David Seabury

Always keep your mind as bright and clear as the vast sky, the great ocean, and the highest peak, empty of all thoughts. Always keep your body filled with light and heat. Fill yourself with the power of wisdom and enlightenment.

Morihei Ueshiba

It seems to me that God, with infinite wisdom and skill, is training the Anglo-Saxons for an hour sure to come in the world's future... the final competition of races, for which the Anglo-Saxon is being schooled... .Whether the extinction of inferior races... seems to the reader sad or otherwise, it certainly appears probable.

Josiah Strong

There was endless action - not just football, but sailboats, tennis and other things: movement. There was endless talk - the ambassador at the head of the table laying out the prevailing wisdom, but everyone else weighing in with their opinions and taking part.

Charles Spalding

I feel really good about this year. I always want to be bigger, but I'm excited about the potential. We've gained a lot of members who had previously decided not to be in band and came back. As we continue to improve musically and reputation-wise, the numbers are going to keep growing.

Todd Peitz

We just couldn't fit them (under the cap) salary-wise.

Al Gallagher

He's an exceptional player. He doesn't turn the ball over and he's fast. He handles it with both hands. A good passer. He's our best three-point shooter, percentage-wise. Knowledgeable, unselfish and all the things you want in a point guard.

Howard Hewitt

The whole process was extremely challenging part-wise, almost like cramming for your voice juries. To hear their songs in all their largeness, hearing how all the eclectic styles work together, it reminded me of why I love this music and this season so much.

Leigh Cappillino

Life is so generous a giver, but we, judging its gifts by the covering, cast them away as ugly or heavy or hard. Remove the covering and you will find beneath it a living splendor, woven of love, by wisdom, with power.

Fra Giovanni Giocondo

The disproportionate influence they have in the media, in libraries, in museums, but especially on college campuses means that I think anyone would be wise to take the left seriously, meaning that they are a massive force in our society because they occupy positions of influence disproportionate to their actual numbers.

Dan Flynn

She is talking about keeping those cuts. It's a smaller state financially and population-wise for some time.

Barry Erwin

Adversity makes a man wise, not rich.

Romanian Proverb

A word to the wise is enough.

Titus Maccius Plautus

He did it the honorable, wise and decent way.

Harold Vogel

For this is Wisdom; to love, to live To take what fate, or the Gods may give. To ask no question, to make no prayer, To kiss the lips and caress the hair, Speed passion's ebb as you greet its flow To have, - to hold - and - in time, - let go.

Laurence Hope

[Meckler said some of the domains stolen from Internet.com took a week to sort out, but were at least discovered before any Web site traffic could be redirected.] Think of the damage to us PR-wise and revenue-wise if our sites were redirected, ... Fortunately, we caught it, but Nike wasn't as lucky.

Alan Meckler

We should be able to place very high in every event against these teams. I was very happy with the way the kids came back from the winter break conditioning-wise, very impressed. The only group that isn't really ready yet is the distance runners.

John Papa

He that is rich is wise.

Daniel Defoe

But when you think about it, the Nikkei remains above 16,000 and, level-wise, the 1.4 percent region (for 10-year bonds) is too low, so we're not likely to see too much more buying from this point on.

Akihiko Inoue

We didn't have any major problems fumble wise, we didn't have players cramping.

John Pearson

He had an armored vehicle across the road. We had these Land Rovers. The wise thing was to go back for the night.

Robert Baxter

This is kind of an early-season evaluation, just to see where everyone is, condition-wise.

Martin Smith

Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.

Cato the Elder

I think that we are maybe a little further ahead of where we thought we were. Apart from Pat Noonan, I didn't really see anybody breaking down fitness-wise. The first thing that goes is the legs and then the brain but we didn't really see that.

Paul Mariner

We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.

Stephen Vincent Benet

Universities by their very nature encourage debate, question and challenge of conventional wisdom and existing theories. We are places where knowledge is discovered. We advance existing precepts and understandings by which society currently runs. And in that context, academic staff will time to time have views that are different from the government's.

Nigel Harris

Wise sayings often fall on barren ground; but a kind word is never thrown away.

Sir Arthur Helps

Advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise.

J. R. R. Tolkien

We needed one win down there and, fortunately, we got it. Now it's just a matter of being consistent and taking care of business. We're in the driver's seat [schedule-wise]. We can't take any team lightly. And we're going to need solid goaltending.

Guy Perron

A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.

Baltasar Gracian

In complete darkness we are all the same, it is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us, don't let your eyes deceive you.

Janet Jackson

We prize wisdom, not just being right. Our children really get that. They get a sense of life bigger than themselves.

Jacqueline Landry

As long as we're winning, it doesn't matter. It's great to see different people step up on any given night. And it makes us hard to prepare for because you don't know who to focus on. A lot of our numbers are down, minutes-wise, but it makes us that much tougher knowing that we have so many people that can contribute.

Shannon Schonrock

The conventional wisdom driving this assumption is simply outdated. Marketers who continue to assume that consumer loyalty and affinity for products and services remains fixed as people age will lose market share to those who seek out and directly speak to them.

Mike Irwin

One must have the courage to give children up; One must have the courage to give children up; their wisdom is not ours. -- Chardonne.

Jacques Chardonne

Dr. Johnson has said that the chief glory of a country arises from its authors. But then that is only as they are oracles of wisdom; unless they teach virtue, they are more worthy of a halter than of the laurel.

Jane Porter

He played well, but team-wise not turning the ball over was a big thing.

Dick Franti

One of the grotesqueries of present-day American life is the amount of reasoning that goes into displaying the wisdom secreted in bad movies while proving that modern art is meaningless. They have put into practice the notion that a bad art work cleverly interpreted according to some obscure Method is more rewarding than a masterpiece wrapped in silence.

Harold Rosenberg

It's going to be a good year. I'm comfortable with the guys we have and some of the guys that are below us in case we get into trouble injury-wise or guys get sent out of here. There's no reason why we shouldn't be equally as competitive as we were last year.

Von Hayes

CRAYFISH, n. A small crustacean very much resembling the lobster, but less indigestible. In this small fish I take it that human wisdom is admirably figured and symbolized; for whereas the crayfish doth move only backward, and can have only retrospection, seeing naught but the perils already passed, so the wisdom of man doth not enable him to avoid the follies that beset his course.

Ambrose Bierce

Conventional wisdom has always supported that when there is a crash with a large truck and a car, it's usually the car that causes the crash. If anything, this study shows the causation is more equally distributed than we first thought.

Ian Grossman

We want teens to have accurate information so they can make wise, informed decisions.

Debra Marcus

We're saying, like a lot of communities do, that here's a value to these jobs. It's a wise investment to look at a differing rate structure for industry.

Bob Wheeler

We took a big hit canker-wise. The bigger hit will be not being able to replant because of the nurseries.

Jeff Bass

Life is an error-making and an error-correcting process, and nature in marking man's papers will grade him for wisdom as measured both by survival and by the quality of life of those who survive.

Jonas Salk

Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.

Herman Hesse

A wise man's country is the world.

Aristippus

We really feel like we are the best in the state balance-wise. But it's one thing to say it and another to do it. Talk is cheap if you don't go out and back it up. We're going to try and get better and we'll see what happens in six weeks.

Wayne Branstetter

Zeal is fit for wise men, but flourishes chiefly among fools.

John Tillotson

No matter what had happened during the day, I'd look at that picture, and it gave me strength, ... It was the most beautiful picture I'd seen of Papa John. Wherever you went in the room, those eyes followed you. There was wisdom, but also truth.

C. Michael White

I don't know the word -- she is just such an athlete, volleyball-wise. Even when she wasn't hitting, she was putting it in spots for other people.

Bob Wojnaroski

I told them, 'Just stop fumbling.' That was a real nugget of wisdom there.

Bruce Kay

Beauty Passes, wisdom remains.

Turkish proverb

The wise man does not permit himself to set up even in his own mind any comparisons of his friends. His friendship is capable of going to extremes with many people, evoked as it is by many qualities.

Charles Dudley Warner

Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure.

William Saroyan

Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does - except wrinkles. It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place.

Abigail Van Buren

Traditional wisdom in publishing is that it's not that important for a publisher to have a brand. More and more, I think they're realizing there's a great opportunity to market directly to consumers.

Michelle Hanson

She's got a ... sort of wisdom.

Patricia O'brien

Men who know themselves are no longer fools. They stand on the threshold of the door of Wisdom.

H. L. Mencken

The hot sun melts the snows; when anger comes, wisdom goes.

Hindi Proverb

He is such a good player it makes it easier for me. We found something that's working very well, chemistry wise.

Ryan Potulny

If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot, therefore, maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual.

Frank Herbert

The mark of a wise person is being able to reach beyond the truth, to admit they can learn more than they already know. A wise person doesn't string together the beads of unrelated events into a necklace simply to have something they wish to see. A wise person sees the truth even if it is something unexpected. That is the most beautiful necklace to wear - the truth.

Terry Goodkind

I feel like I'm in the best shape I've ever been in. Stamina-wise I'm doing well just because I've been in there almost every play. But it's definitely good to get the reps.

Jon Williams

A wise man knows everything.A shrewd one, everybody.

Old Chinese Proverb

Follow the wisdom of the great actor, James Cagney, you hit your mark, you look the other guy in the eye, and you tell the truth.

Brian Koslow

She showed wisdom way beyond her age and delivered a result for that gentleman that we could only hope to achieve in every situation.

Jim Higgins

Singles-wise, we're one of the best teams in the country, no doubt about it. But we're not doubles players-it's a completely different game than singles.

Tyler Browne

We're very excited and it's a very wise move. Putting all the preschool kids together allows us to really concentrate school readiness skills. This will also allow us to provide more opportunities for families.

Nancy Cox

I think experience-wise I'll be able to tell them some things, what it's all about and what the atmosphere's like. Getting to state was a big goal for these kids though, they've talked about that '99 team, and they wanted to get back there. Hopefully we'll make some noise in Des Moines.

Derek Sonderland

Wisdom and goodness are twin-born, one heart must hold both sisters, never seen apart.

William Dean Howells

I feel like every year we're going to be there, it's whether we're going to be good enough to win it. So we've tried to change some things philosophy-wise, change some coaching philosophy, just re-evaluate what we can do better.

Brian Hucks

He's the kind of man you hate to lose. He was so full of wisdom. He had such a calm demeanor. He had a deep reservoir of good political sense and people sense. He was a solid rock. People like that in politics and in the area we worked are hard to come by. I was fortunate to have him as a good friend.

Richard Weiss

We have the best team that we have ever had athletically, fundamentally and skill-wise. Now it is just making sure we are mentally prepared. The girls have to know that they belong, that they can play at the next level.

Mindy Hanson

Misunderstood! It is a right fool's word. Is it so bad then to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Teach you children poetry; it opens the mind, lends grace to wisdom and makes the heroic virtues hereditary.

Sir Walter Scott

There are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting, get understanding.

Bible

Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

Wise is the person at either end. Who can in due measure spare as well as spend.

Lucian

To speak as the common people do, to think as wise men do is style.

Roger Ascham

I really didn't have any particular inspiration ? a little (Dick) Cheney and Al Gore in there somewhere. And there's probably a little bit of Lyndon Johnson, too ? a combination of all vice presidents that I've known. And a little bit of what Ray Wise thinks about how to play the vice president. But I'm waiting to play the president in the big time.

Ray Wise

Previous to today, we had an attack issue, just putting the ball away shooting-wise. But [Saturday], we couldn't pick one problem, one thing that went wrong. There were a lot of things that went wrong between attack, midfield and defense.

Lauren Bryan

If they've made wise choices, they might have money left over, ... If they've made poor choices, it might take some money out of their pockets.

No man was ever wise by chance.

John Pierpont Morgan

Anarchism is founded on the observation that since few men are wise enough to rule themselves, even fewer are wise enough to rule others.

Edward Abbey

Believing that in a wise way it is good to go to church, and that associating with Christians would improve my character, I have adopted the Christian religion... I am not ashamed to be a Christian... I have advised all of my people who are not Christians, to study that religion, because it seems to me the best religion in enabling one to live right.

Geronimo

I've had a feeling that it's coming, just by the shape of the auto industry. I think this is the best damn truck plant in the world quality wise and with cost savings. We're not real happy about it.

Chris Kimmons

The wise man is he who knows the relative value of things.

William Ralph Inge

It was a really good match and we weren't intimidated at all by Central. Intensity wise we weren't ever really out of the match. It was intense back and fourth the whole way.

Deehona Minton

It takes a wise man to discover a wise man.

Diogenes Laertius

[Wisdom is] the science of happiness or of the means of attaining the lasting contentment which consists in the continual achievement of a greater perfection or at least in variations of the same degree of perfection.

G. Wilhelm Leibniz

The wisdom and capacity to put this behind us.

Pat Cox

Seeing, contrary to popular wisdom, isn't believing. It's where belief stops, because it isn't needed any more.

Terry Pratchett

He's dedicated; he works hard; he puts in the time. And on top of it all, he's a freak of nature strength-wise. It's unbelievable. His speed and strength are just phenomenal.

Paul Cummings

It's not good public policy for anyone in government to give themselves a raise. Your wisdom is compelling, mayor. It would be a good gesture to employees to see how the budget surpluses sort out.

Steve Turley

We haven't been terribly specific, except to say that the application of common sense is desirable. In the end, the House seems likely to adopt new rules, and then we'll all abide by them. In the meantime, it would be good to be wise.

Larry Neal

I don't know what was the wisdom in that decision. It confused the mess out of everybody.

Robert Belcher

They want more detail about where the money goes. I see them as more informed investors who want to be wise and cautious about their gifts.

David Kennedy

The Big Moo is a book that's not just about breaking all the rules -- it's about changing the game entirely. We want to help people start a movement in their organization -- to stop trying to be perfect and start being remarkable. The goal is to make the book's wisdom, its practical application, its fun, and its authors accessible, while raising millions for charity.

Dean Debiase

We've said consistently that the federal government should not take more in tax from people than they need for program expenditure purposes, because while Alberta is very competitive tax-wise, Canada is not.

Shirley Mcclellan

That is the reality of the times that we are in. It's where we are. These are our times. God grant us the wisdom around this table to do what is best for the convention and the kingdom of God.

David Horton

We have really worked hard defensively, and I was happy and it was our best game technique-wise of the year.

Kevin Hime

That is the hardest thing of all. It is much harder to judge yourself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself, it's because you're truly a wise man.

Antoine de Saint Exupery

Politics, like theater, is one of those things where you've got to be wise enough to know when to leave.

The first point of wisdom is to discern that which is false; the second, to know that which is true.

Lactantius

A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows the public opinion.

Grantland Rice

I was pretty shocked. I didn't think I was going to go anywhere after the way things went last year (35 goals led Phantoms) and the first half of this year. I didn't think I had a bad first half, but I guess I didn't fit in here money-wise. I didn't think that they would have to move anybody. It's unfortunate that it had to be me.

Jon Sim

We can choose how to think about and react to disappointment, ... At the extremes, one line of thought leads to bitterness and a shriveled soul. The other leads to wisdom and growth.

Joseph White

Our productivity growth has not been that great over the past few years. Now we've got this investment appetite and that could really start moving us up productivity-wise. The downside is you don't need as many jobs in the sector as you did before.

Peter Hall

Most new things are not good and die an early death; but those, which push themselves forward, and by slow degree force themselves on the attention of mankind are the unconscious productions of human wisdom and must have honest consideration, and mus.

Thomas Brackett Reed

He was always a great listener. He absorbed any wisdom you tried to pass on. I could tell he was going to become an outstanding general manager.

Roland Hemond

A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings, and learn how by his own thought to derive benefit from his illnesses.

Hippocrates

Being a mother is so much more than giving birth. It takes all your time, energy, wit and strength, not to mention the wisdom and grace of God to see that that child succeeds, ... The celebrity mom is the exception to the rule as her level of strength, compassion and understanding is parallel to none. This is why we honor these mothers because they have triumphed in the spotlight and at home.

Johnnie Walker

Health-wise, we're all pretty good, which hasn't necessarily been the case lately. It's been unusual-I don't know if it's the cold weather or maybe just bad luck.

Conor Niland

This is a great morale boost, sporting wise and internationally.

Kevan Gosper

The frequent-flier programs' glory days are over. It is time to 'spend down' on all the airlines. Wise consumers are already doing that.

Terry Trippler

I think they have some dominant post players. Guard-wise, we match up real well. I think post play will be the difference in the game.

Sandy Wright

It is a collective wisdom that put this plan together. We are excited about it. There were a lot of good thoughts that came forward, and we will build on the recommendations.

Sharon Vogel

Wise parents offer criticism only when asked, and then minimally.

Leonard Roy Frank

The championship is where I expect her to do her best swims. She's gotten more consistent time-wise this year, but that doesn't matter. If she gets to the end and does the same thing she's been doing all year, she'll be upset.

Jill Sterkel

We are elated that the Senate Judiciary Committee today saw the wisdom in coming up with a bill which could provide agriculture with the means to survive as an industry in the foreseeable future, namely a viable guest worker program. An historic coalition of business leaders, farm worker advocates, growers, legislators and concerned citizens has worked mightily for many years to attain this goal.

Tom Nassif

We had a hard time running our offense, especially in the fourth quarter. Effort-wise, I felt good about this. All our guys put everything into the game.

Scott Orness

Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.

Matsuo Basho

I'm very proud of the State of Texas for recognizing Odessa for creating the vision and having the wisdom to carry out the vision to grow our economy.

Mike George

Leonhard Euler

Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is a nobler art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials.

Lin Yutang

Make wisdom your provision for the journey from youth to old age, for it is a more certain support than all other possessions.

Adolfo Cambiaso

Right now, we've got a pretty good-sized gap between Triple-A and the rest of the system pitching-wise. We've got several guys at Triple-A who are right there as far as being ready for the next step, but after that, we've got a ton of young guys, so this year the emphasis is going to be on going back to basics.

Keith Lieppman

I believe he'll be an everyday shortstop with a chance to be a very good offensive player. He's still very young and has plenty to learn. I saw stuff that he did at the plate that I loved. I think he's going to get better hitting-wise. I'm real optimistic about his future.

Mike Quade

One of the brightest thinkers in our field, he produced fundamental changes in the way the world thought about issues of human abilities. Remarkably productive, but always with time to share a laugh and wisdom with those younger than him, Seymour has made a very real difference.

Kelly Brownell

He's fitting in really well. He's fitting into the scheme surprisingly well. He's a quick learner; he learned the defense really quick from what I hear. Personality-wise, he's great.

Ricky Phillips

The first game tonight was a fluke. We did what we had to do in the second game. We have to show up, defensive-wise and hitting-wise to back up the pitchers.

Charlene Reyes

It's a wise move to alert consumers to how their data is used before the media does. It's better to come out and say, 'Oh, by the way, your GPS unit can be used to track you,' than to have them find out on the six o'clock news.

Mike Schiff

This is a mistake and a sort of political gamble more than being a wise move.

Ali Al Nimesh

Conventional wisdom may be upside-down. The economy is always an issue, but I think . . . it has to be viewed in different terms. The Gore camp will try to take credit for the economy. I don't think the voters see it that way.

Mark Mckinnon

Wisdom and spirit of the Universe! Thou soul is the eternity of thought! That giv'st to forms and images a breath And everlasting motion! Not in vain By day or star-light thus from by first dawn Of childhood didst thou intertwine for me The passions that build up our human soul, Not with the mean and vulgar works of man, But with high objects, with enduring things.

William Wordsworth

I feel we win all round with it, both in terms of standards of rugby and financially. It gives players the opportunity to test themselves against the best players on the pitch and revenue-wise it has been excellent for us and one of the major reasons we took the step to play in it.

Stuart Gallacher

EXPERIENCE, n. The wisdom that enables us to recognize as an undesirable old acquaintance the folly that we have already embraced. To one who, journeying through night and fog, Is mired neck-deep in an unwholesome bog, Experience, like the rising of the dawn, Reveals the path that he should not have gone. Joel Frad Bink.

Ambrose Bierce

A man feared that he might find an assassin; Another that he might find a victim. One was more wise than the other.

Stephan Crane

If we would've set the tone with game one, I think it would've been our night. We missed five serves in game one. Mental-wise, I think we were more confident than in the past.

Sherri Frye

Time ripens all things; no man is born wise.

Miguel de Cervantes

He is our wise man. His voice is very respected in the community.

Charles Morrison

Yale is a crucible in American life for the accommodation of intellectual achievement, of wisdom, of refinement, with the democratic ideals of openness, of social justice and of equal opportunity.

Benno C. Schmidt, Jr.

Wisdom oft lurks beneath a tattered coat.

Caecilius Statius

There is an alchemy in sorrow. It can be transmuted into wisdom, which, if it does not bring joy, can yet bring happiness.

Pearl S. Buck

I'm in good shape and I've come back to form, skating-wise. I'm fully prepared to take myself to the limit and hopefully I'll win a gold medal with a race that delights the crowd.

Joji Kato

Quiet and sincere sympathy is often the most welcome and efficient consolation to the afflicted. Said a wise man to one in deep sorrow, 'I did not come to comfort you; God only can do that; but I did come to say how deeply and tenderly I feel for you in your affliction'.

Tryon Edwards

The wise musicians are those who play what they can master.

Duke Ellington

A little too wise, they say, do ne'er live long.

Thomas Middleton

In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.

Ansel Adams

Frank is a seasoned professional with deep experience providing a wide range of litigation consulting services to major corporate clients and leading law firms. We look forward to his contributions to the growth of our Washington, D.C. office and are confident that our clients will benefit from his wise counsel.

Saul Solomon

Doubt is the beginning, not the end, of wisdom.

George Iles

Skill-wise, he hasn't done anything spectacular this year from the previous year because the skills were there. Right now, it's just his focus and determination to carry this team and show them the way it needs to be done that's impressive.

Jeff Kasparie

Talent-wise I think the sky's the limit. I think this team is capable of anything. But there are some other good teams out there, too, even in our own conference.

Chris Bacich

The middle part of the league now is going to be so competitive. It is a bad thing record-wise, but it is a good thing for RPI.

Harry Perretta

We are not to judge thrift solely by the test of saving or spending. If one spends what he should prudently save, that certainly is to be deplored. But if one saves what he should prudently spend, that is not necessarily to be commended. A wise balance between the two is the desired end.

Owen D. Young

We already knew that any soul and jazz band has to go through James Brown. He didn't impart any wisdom -- he mumbled a lot when we talked to him -- but we learned a lot from his performance.

Felix Riebl

REVIEW, v.t. To set your wisdom (holding not a doubt of it, Although in truth there's neither bone nor skin to it) At work upon a book, and so read out of it The qualities that you have first read into it.
