Wise Played

Famous quotes containing the words wise and/or played:

“Lord, when the wise men came from far,
Led to thy cradle by a star,
Then did the shepherds too rejoice,
Instructed by thy angel’s voice.
Blest were the wise men in their skill,
And shepherds in their harmless will.”
—Sidney Godolphin (1610–1693)

“Listen here. I’ve never played it safe
in spite of what the critics say.”
