Wisdom is what's left after we've run out of personal opinions.

We may not imagine how our lives could be more frustrating and complex--but Congress can.

Those who agree with us may not be right, but we admire their astuteness.

People seldom become famous for what they say until after they are famous for what they've done.

There's always somebody who is paid too much, and taxed too little - and it's always somebody else.

Saying what we think gives us a wider conversational range than saying what we know.

Laughing at our mistakes can lengthen our own life. Laughing at someone else's can shorten it.
