In justice to human society it may perhaps be said of almost all the polities and civil institutions in the world, however imperfect, that they have been founded in and carried on with very considerable wisdom.

The constitutions of Maryland and New York are founded in higher wisdom.

Conventional wisdom notwithstanding, there is no reason either in football or in poetry why the two should not meet in a man's life if he has the weight and cares about the words.

You know, it's sort of common wisdom among New York publishers that short story collections don't make money.

Wisdom and goodness are twin-born, one heart must hold both sisters, never seen apart.
