The best luck always happens to people who don't need it.
There is no country but the heart.
If something takes too long, something happens to you. You become all and only the thing you want and nothing else, for you have paid too much for it, too much in wanting and too much in waiting and too much in getting.
The poem is not a thing we see; it is, rather, a light by which we may see.
...a man does not die for words. He dies for his relation to them.
There ain't anything worth doing a man can do and keep his dignity. Can you figure out a single thing you really please-God like to do you can do and keep your dignity? The human frame just ain't built that way.
