Have you heard that it was good to gain the day? I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.

I dance with the dancers.

I am not contain'd between my hat and boots.

We consider bibles and religions divine I do not say they are not divine. I say they have all grown out of you, and may grow out of you still. It is not they who give the life, it is you who give the life.

The words of my book nothing, the drift of it everything.

What is commonest and cheapest and nearest and easiest is Me, Me going in for my chances, spending for vast returns, Adorning myself to bestow myself on the first that will take me, Not asking the sky to come down to my goodwill, Scattering if freely forever.

Every hour of every day is an unspeakably perfect miracle.
