Men who know themselves are no longer fools. They stand on the threshold of the door of Wisdom.

Who knows for what we live and struggle and die? Wise men write many books in words too hard to understand. But this the purpose of our lives the end of all our struggle is beyond all human wisdom.

We have no words for speaking of wisdom to the stupid. He who understands the wise is wise already.

We are to seek wisdom and understanding only in the length of days.

If you want to be found stand where the seeker seeks.

Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly but we consider it false and despise its adherents.

If you talk to a man in a language he understands that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language that goes to his heart.

'That's What She Said' is not Hollywood's standard picture of women: preternaturally gorgeous wedding obsessed boy crazy fashion focused sexed up 'girl' women. These are real women comically portrayed who are trying to wrestle with the very expectations of womanhood that Hollywood movies set up.

I'd been a wedding singer through college but after a few years of doing my best renditions of jazz standards to clinking glasses and the sound of forks on salad I thought 'Oh God if this is all I do I'll never be able to live with myself.'

I saw a photograph of a wedding conducted by Reverend Moon of the Unification Church. I wanted to understand this event and the only way to understand it was to write about it.

Telling the truth to people who misunderstand you is generally promoting a falsehood isn't it?

The truth is I don't have any problem with journalists - I count some of them as friends - also some of my heroes are journalists I'm a big fan of Robert Fisk - great people or crazy people who are prepared to stand up for what's right.

In order to create lasting security you must learn to stand in your truth.

Let me get you to understand I don't bully anybody. I stand up for what I believe in and I'm very honest and I always tell the truth. I'm not a liar I'm not manipulative and I don't stab you in your back because I will stab you in your chest.

Our understanding of the world around us is constantly being redefined and expanded and so therefore it is wiser to be passionate about seeking for truth than knowing it.

Let my name stand among those who are willing to bear ridicule and reproach for the truth's sake and so earn some right to rejoice when the victory is won.

When you're caught up in the storm or you know just the turmoil of everything that there is another side and you do get through it. And you know just standing by the truth and doing the right thing.

It is only a man's own fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them. For it is these that he really and completely understands. To read the thoughts of others is like taking the remains of someone else's meal like putting on the discarded clothes of a stranger.

It may not always be easy convenient or politically correct to stand for truth and right but it is the right thing to do. Always.

Truth stands even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

Truth will always be truth regardless of lack of understanding disbelief or ignorance.

My mother taught me that when you stand in the truth and someone tells a lie about you don't fight it.

Stand upright speak thy thoughts declare The truth thou hast that all may share Be bold proclaim it everywhere: They only live who dare.

All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered the point is to discover them.
