To be a poet is to have a soul so quick to discern, that no shade of quality escapes it.
Talent is God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.
Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold; the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.
Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.
I'm not a perfect person, I never claimed to be. But I'm trying every day to be better than I was yesterday.
