Yes, as an oppressed people, American Indians have this epic burden, but first and foremost, they're human: sometimes a mess, sometimes funny or sad, at times very wise, and other times not wise at all - a lot like me.

Alexandra Fuller

Wise men are not wise at all hours, and will speak five times from their taste or their humor, to once from their reason.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is ignorance that is at times incomprehensible to the wise; for instance, he may not see 'the positive person' or 'the negative person' in a black and white way as many people do. A wise man may not understand it because, as a catalyst of wisdom, but not wise in his own eyes, even he can learn from and give back to fools. To think that an individual has absolutely nothing to offer to the table is counter-intuitively what the wise man considers to be 'the ignorance of hopelessness'.

Criss Jami

Wise men are not wise at all times.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

At times it is folly to hasten at other times, to delay. The wise do everything in its proper time.

Ovid

If you eat three times a day, you become fat. If you read three times a day, you become wise. It's better to be wise than fat.

Shimon Peres

I was born wise. Street-wise, people-wise, self-wise. This wisdom was my birthright.

Sophia Loren

A wise quote can only change a wise man! Therefore, wise sayings are for the wise men, not for the fools! The sunflowers turn their face toward the Sun, the fools, toward the darkness!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

Wise leaders generally have wise counselors because it takes a wise person themselves to distinguish them.

Diogenes

There is a lot of territory out there still to explore TV-wise, show-wise, movie-wise, everything.

Randy Jackson

Wise kings generally have wise counselors; and he must be a wise man himself who is capable of distinguishing one.

Diogenes

A wise prince then...should never be idle in times of peace but should industriously lay up stores of which to avail himself in times of adversity so that when fortune abandons him he may be prepared to resist her blows.

Niccolo Machiavelli

Be wise, because the world needs more wisdom. And if you cannot be wise, pretend to be someone who is wise, and then just behave like they would.

Neil Gaiman

During times like these, the wise are influential.

Joni Mitchell

Far best is he who is himself all-wise, and he, too, good who listens to wise words; But whoso is not wise or lays to hear another's wisdom is a useless man.

Hesiod

I'm very positive - music-wise, production-wise and life-wise.
