The distance that the dead have gone Does not at first appear- Their coming back seems possible For many an ardent year.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all.

I am out with lanterns, looking for myself.

We turn not older with years but newer every day.

I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven.

If you take care of the small things, the big things take care of themselves. You can gain more control over your life by paying closer attention to the little things.

I must go in, the fog is rising.

A good roommate may be the single most important thing to have when one is away at school.

Bring me the sunset in a cup.

Saying nothing... sometimes says the most.

Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.

You've presented a reality that not everyone has chosen to accept.

How lovely it is to live with a sense of community. To live where you can drop in the street and a million people will come and help you.

I can't remember the last time I was bored.

The world by and large has to be reinvented.

The will to prepare, the guts to risk, and the desire to be the best. These are trademarks of champions.

If you can but give to the fainting soul at your door a cup of water from the wells of truth, it shall flash back on you the radiance of God. As you save, so shall you be saved.
