My wish for the new millennium is for all children... to grow up wiser and stronger and more prosperous for the future than ever before.

My family truly believes they are better cooks than I am. They see me as Giada not as a celebrity chef. To them I'm just me - their granddaughter niece etc. and they're older and wiser. I like that because it keeps you grounded.

Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking.

You know the man of my dreams might walk round the corner tomorrow. I'm older and wiser and I think I'd make a great girlfriend. I live in the realm of romantic possibility.

As human beings we do change grow adapt perhaps even learn and become wiser.

Thinking well to be wise: planning well wiser: doing well wisest and best of all.

Poetry is something to make us wiser and better by continually revealing those types of beauty and truth which God has set in all men's souls.

To be perfectly honest I think that as I'm growing older I'm just growing more impatient. I'll be very happy if at some point people say 'Michael's grown wiser and softer in his old age.' But we'll have to wait and see what my next project is.

It were a real increase of human happiness could all young men from the age of nineteen be covered under barrels or rendered otherwise invisible and there left to follow their lawful studies and callings till they emerged sadder and wiser at the age of twenty-five.
