How like they are to human things!

Softly the evening came /with the sunset/.

A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better than ten years mere study of books.

Behind the clouds is the sun still shining.

Into each life some rain must fall.

The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.

My soul is full of longing for the secret of the sea

It takes less time to do a thing right, than it does to explain why you did it wrong.

Close scrutiny of an object in nature will nearly always yield some significant fact.

He's going for the home run, I'm going for the grand slam. If he gets a lot of strikeouts, I'm getting a shutout. I just have that positivity, that mentality that I can conquer whatever he gives out.

I never been a hater of these other cats, who never really had nothing, being successful. That's not my problem.

...a man does not die for words. He dies for his relation to them.
