There was a period of 10 years where the conventional wisdom was Black shows don't sell overseas, therefore nobody is interested.


Wisdom comes from within. Knowledge is acquired and can sometimes put a screen on your wisdom.

Your aim will be knowledge and wisdom, not the reflected glamour of fame.

I have the responsibility of over four million people, and I am in a position to do good, to be able to bring about a new life for my people, and I will continue to move in that direction. It's a burden, but it needs to be done, and you have to have the courage and wisdom to see it through.

Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure. Great necessities call out great virtues.

Though I am fascinated by knowledge, I am even more fascinated by wisdom.

I think there is a complicated side effect to overcoming evil in that we are forever changed by it. I think after we ingest some of the cruelty of the world, it takes years off of our lives, but it also gives us wisdom and a little grace, hopefully a sense of compassion.

It is now conventional wisdom that Americans do not care why we went to war in Iraq, that it is enough that the world is better off without Saddam Hussein.

That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation often becomes the height of wisdom in another.
