One regret dear world, that I am determined not to have when I am lying on my deathbed is that I did not kiss you enough.

Carry your heart through this world like a life-giving sun

Speak but little, and that little only when thy own purposes require it. Heaven has given thee two ears but only one tongue, which means: listen to two things, but be not the first to propose one.

Now that all your worry has proved such an unlucrative business. Why not find a better job.

For a day, just for one day, talk about that which disturbs no one and bring some peace into those beautiful eyes.

The great religions are the ships, Poets the life boats. Every sane person I know has jumped overboard.

Do not surrender your grief so quickly Let it cut more deeply Let it ferment and season you As few human or divine ingredients can Something is missing in my heart tonight That has made my eyes so soft And my voice so tender And my need of God so absolutely clear.
