We need to aggressively take on radical Islamic terrorism but not at the expense of our American values.

A great change is at hand, and our task, our obligation, is to make that revolution, that change, peaceful and constructive for all.

Before you look to blame another, look within yourself, for at some point you have not listened to your own instincts.

I have always thought of poems as stepping stones in one's own sense of oneself.

Ah, the patter of little feet around the house. There's nothing like having a midget for a butler.
