In poetry compromise is fatal. In action of any cooperative sort it is inevitable. The thing is to find the balance.

We are all jellyfish, too pitiful and too afraid of being disliked to be honest.

Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.

Without darkness, nothing comes to birth, As without light, nothing flowers.

What is destructive is impatience, haste, expecting too much too fast.

We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.

The minute one utters a certainty, the opposite comes to mind.

The most valuable thing we can do for the psyche, occasionally, is to let it rest, wander, live in the changing light of room, not try to be or do anything whatever.

There are some griefs so loud/They could bring down the sky/And there are griefs so still/None knows how deep they lie.

A house that does not have one warm, comfy chair in it is soulless.

It is, I assume, quite easy to wither into old age, and hard to grow into it.

Tend to the people, and they will tend to the business.

Find your inner bliss and then let it out to make the world blissful.

It's weird, the idea of someone else playing my dad, but weirdly nice.

A learned man is a tank; a wiser man is a spring.

I put the costume on and said 'It's not very comfortable, but it looks amazing,' so it's all good.

It's been that way since the beginning. I just been playin, I aint even notice I was winnin.

To keep from decaying, to be a winner, the athlete must accept pain - not only accept it, but look for it, live with it, learn not to fear it.

I had to come up with some criteria to help me; i.e., what the favor was, if it was legitimate, if it was in no way compromising, and if there would be a benefit some way by my participation.

All that matters is to help the team.

Please your eye and plague your heart.
