I hope to leave behind a few poems it will be hard to get rid of.
Don't be an agnostic. Be something.
Take care to sell your horse before he dies. The art of life is passing losses on.
Heaven gives its glimpses only to those not in position to look too close.
Life is tons of discipline. Your first discipline is your vocabulary; then your grammar and your punctuation Then, in your exuberance and bounding energy you say you're going to add to that. Then you add rhyme and meter. And your delight is in that power.
The truly educated can listen to any view without losing their temper or self-confidence.
