The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader.
The world is full of willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.
The trees that have it in their pent-up buds To darken nature and be summer woods.
Always fall in with what you're asked to accept. Take what is given, and make it over your way. My aim in life has always been to hold my own with whatever's going. Not against: with.
All the fun is in how you say a thing.
Poetry is what is lost in translation. It is also what is lost in interpretation.
The afternoon knows what the morning never suspected.
Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee, and I'll forgive Thy great big joke on me.
The only way round is through.
