I exist as I am, that is enough, If no other in the world be aware, I sit content, And if each and all be aware, I sit content.

The United States themselves are essentially the greatest poem.

Resist much, obey little.

A perfect writer would make words sing, dance, kiss, do the male and female act, bear children, weep, bleed, rage, stab, steal, fire cannon, steer ships, sack cities, charge with cavalry or infantry, or do anything that man or woman or the natural powers can do.

The genius of the United States is not best or most in its executives or legislatures, nor in its ambassadors or authors or colleges, or churches, or parlors, nor even in its newspapers or inventors, but always most in the common people.

The truth is simple. If it was complicated, everyone would understand it.

NOT I - NOT ANYONE else, can travel that road for you, You must travel it for yourself.
