Sing because this is a food our starving world needs. Laugh because that is the purest sound.

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.

All these words are just a front. What I would really like to do is chain you to my body, then sing for days & days & days.

Thou learnest no secret until thou knowest friendship, since to the unsound no heavenly knowledge enters.

The small man builds cages for everyone he knows While the sage, who has to duck his head when the moon is low, Keeps dropping keys all night long For the beautiful rowdy prisoners.

In time of trouble avert not thy face from hope, for the soft marrow abideth in the hard bone.

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.
