Lord, give us the wisdom to utter words that are gentle and tender, for tomorrow we may have to eat them.

I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean.

I always told, Sandra Bullock was my student when she was younger, I always told her it’s important that we hold on to our insecurity, the wisdom of insecurity.

Our wisdom comes from our experience, and our experience comes from our foolishness.

There is a trade off – as you grow older you gain wisdom but you lose spontaneity.
