Oh the wild joys of living! The leaping from rock to rock ... the cool silver shock of the plunge in a pool's living waters.

I know what I want and what I might gain, and yet, how profitless to know.

Truth is within ourselves. There is an inmost center in us all, where the truth abides in fullness.

God is the perfect poet.

Desire joy and thank God for it. Renounce it, if need be, for other's sake. That's joy beyond joy.

Sing, riding 's a joy! For me I ride.

All the breath and the bloom of the year in the bag of one bee; All the wonder and wealth of the mine in the heart of one gem; In the core of one pearl all the shade and the shine of the sea; Breath and bloom, shade and shine,- wonder, wealth, and-how far above them- Truth, that's brighter than gem, Truth, that's purer than pearl,- Brightest truth, purest trust in the universe- all were for me In the kiss of one girl.
