wise person

You are treated as a wise person if you are just very grim about everything.

Why, a wise person might ask, should someone spend any time at all in a place that can so easily bring them to anger?

A really wise person when I started a business in fashion said, "Well, fashion's like weather, and you can't control it, and I wouldn't invest in it, either."

“A wise person once told me that a good process builds good policy, builds good politics. We have to return to them.”

“A wise person once said, ‘If you don’t have a seat at the table, then you’re probably on the menu,’” said Rep. Ritchie Torres, New York Democrat.
