Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk.

Wisdom is the quality that keeps you from getting into situations where you need it.

I'm not after fame and success and fortune and power. It's mostly that I want to have a good job and have good friends; that's the good stuff in life.

I'm smart and I can be really funny and interesting and I can go toe-to-toe with anybody in a conversation.

I want, by understanding myself, to understand others. I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.

I like to be who I am.

I don't want to put a pause on the rest of my life; I'm really enjoying getting older and the wisdom that comes from that.

I've always wanted to be somebody, but I see now I should have been more specific.

I just want to be who I am, as I am.

I'm not wise, but the beginning of wisdom is there; it's like relaxing into - and an acceptance of - things.
