Living well is an art that can be developed: a love of life and ability to take great pleasure from small offerings and assurance that the world owes you nothing and that every gift is exactly that, a gift.

We are only as blind as we want to be.

Poetry gave me back my voice.

Don't bring negative to my door.

One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.

We need much less than we think we need.

Yet it is only love which sets us free.
