It is not fair to be old, to put on a brown sweater.

It is difficult to get the news from poems, yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there.

The beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

It is not what you say that matters but the manner in which you say it; there lies the secret of the ages.

The job of the poet is to use language effectively, his own language, the only language which is to him authentic.

The weight of love Has buoyed me up Till my head Knocks against the sky.

As birds' wings beat the solid air without which none could fly so words freed by the imagination affirm reality by their flight.

There is nothing beginning nor end to the imagination but it delights in its own seasons reversing the usual order at will.

My first poem was a bolt from the blue … it broke a spell of disillusion and suicidal despondence. ... it filled me with soul satisfying joy.

Somewhere the sense makes copper roses steel roses — The rose carried weight of love but love is at an end — of roses It is at the edge of the petal that love waits.

Ask yourself, does this person make me feel good about myself? Do I feel safe, strong and free with this person? Those are the questions you need to ask....You have to be strong to truly be open.

You can, and you will. If you’re going to carry any belief, carry one that empowers you. Believe in your unlimited potential.

If you tell a child "Don't touch yourself there," they will deal with some kind of sexual problem from then on, to one degree or other.

It's not always easy to be transparent about your emotions and sometimes the music can get heavy.

Tis hard to be wretched, but worse to be knowne so.

Responsible people work, earn, save, invest, make things better for self & family. Lefties call that "greed."

All good things have to come to an end, and the male cheerleader has come to an end

God can do anything. He has all power in the palm of His Hand. My Body, like all other bodies, is a temporary habitation; but, My Power is eternal, all-pervasive, ever-dominant.

It's like Tiger Woods' wife, we should take a nine iron to the back windshield of big government spending and smash it out.

I have Indian Blood in me. I have just enough white blood for you to question my honesty!
