The average man has a carefully cultivated ignorance about household matters – from what to do with the crumbs to the grocer’s telephone number – a sort of cheerful inefficiency which protects him.

Well can I just make a point about the numbers because people talk a lot about police numbers as if police numbers are the holy grail. But actually what matters is what those police are doing. It’s about how those police are deployed.

The intellectual debility of contemporary conservatism is indicated by its silence on all important matters.

The success of my comedy has been not being afraid to touch on subject matters or issues that everyone else is politically scared of.
In most matters regarding apparel, I am a big fan of natural fibers – wool, cotton, and so on. Not when it comes to socks. An elastic fiber of some type is necessary.
The only things standing between you and the compassionate, wise, and creative person you want to be are matters of choice. Your choice. No one can occupy your generosity except you.

I don’t think age matters. In cricket, if you have the skill, you can go on playing.

To some degree it matters who’s in office, but it matters more how much pressure they’re under from the public.
The wisdom of crowds works when the crowd is choosing the price of an ox, when there’s a single numeric average. But if it’s a design or something that matters, the decision is made by committee, and that’s crap. You want people and groups who are able to think thoughts before they share.

Historians partial to Kennedy see matters differently from those partial to L.B.J. Vietnam has become a point of contention in defending and criticizing J.F.K.
