It seems to me that in every culture I come across a chapter headed 'Wisdom.' And then I know exactly what is going to follow: 'Vanity of vanities all is vanity.'
Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.
I think everyone goes through chapters in their life and there was a time when I wasn't feeling terribly positive about what I was contributing to film or wasn't feeling as if I was going in the direction I wanted and I re-evaluated what I was doing.
The old fun thing is when somebody typed up the first chapter of War and Peace. And then made a precis of the rest of it and sent it out and only one publisher recognized it.
Who can't relate to the idea of leaving one chapter behind and moving on to the next?
Marriage commissioners who choose not to marry homosexuals are being fired. A Knights of Columbus chapter in British Columbia is in court because it chooses not allow a lesbian group to use its facility for marriage ceremonies. The list goes on.
I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a 'storybook marriage.' Well in the storybooks I read there were never long long rainy winter afternoons in a house with five boys screaming at once. And those storybooks never seemed to have chapters called MS or breast cancer.
Marriage - a book of which the first chapter is written in poetry and the remaining chapters in prose.

We've persevered because of a belief we share with the Iraqi people - a belief that out of the ashes of war a new beginning could be born in this cradle of civilization.

I retire with a smile on my face in good health and ready to spend autumns at my kids' games instead of my own. I'm excited to start the next chapter of my life.
I used to read five psalms every day - that teaches me how to get along with God. Then I read a chapter of Proverbs every day and that teaches me how to get along with my fellow man.
We kinda look at this as the second or third chapter of our lives. After college most people figure out what they want to do with their lives. But we already know what we want to do in the future and that is to continue to further our business goals.
The first pages of memory are like the old family Bible. The first leaves are wholly faded and somewhat soiled with handling. But when we turn further and come to the chapters where Adam and Eve were banished from Paradise then all begins to grow clear and legible.
To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living.
The NFL has been an amazing page in this chapter of my life. I pray that all successive adventures offer me the same potential for growth success and most importantly fun.
Nothing is so galling to a people not broken in from the birth as a paternal or in other words a meddling government a government which tells them what to read and say and eat and drink and wear.
