No command of art, No toil, can help you hear; Earth's minstrelsy falls clear But on the listening heart.

The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.

A breath, whence no man knows, Swaying the grating weeds, it blows; It comes, it grieves, it goes. Once it rocked the summer rose.

I question not if thrushes sing, If roses load the air; Beyond my heart I need not reach When all is summer there.

The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears. [So when you are crying remember also to anticipate and look for the rainbow.]

I pour into the world the eternal streams Wan prophets tent beside, and dream their dreams.

Holding occasion by the hand, Not over nice 'twixt weed and flower, Waiving what none can understand, I make mine hour.

If so men's memories not a monument be, None shalt thou have. Warm hearts, and not cold stone, Must mark thy grave, or thou shalt lie, unknown. Marbles keep not themselves; how then, keep thee?

The message from the hedge-leaves, Heed it, whoso thou art; Under lowly eaves Lives the happy heart.

The soul would have no rainbow, had the eyes no tears.

I don't want to be entertained. I don't want visuals or musicals. I don't want a vacation. I don't want to quit. I don't want sympathy. The cry of my heart is 'Just Give Me Jesus.'

We cannot eradicate violence if we do not build strong, inclusive communities.

People are always casting me for what they call my 'authority.

Never underestimate a man's ability to make you feel guilty for his mistakes.

There are some bad people on the rise; they're saving their own skins by ruining people's lives.

The only winner today is big business.
