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.
A mother takes twenty years to make a man of her boy, and another woman makes a fool of him in twenty minutes.
