Robert Frost quotes
Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity.
A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.
A jury consists of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer.
A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel.
A mother takes twenty years to make a man of her boy, and another woman makes a fool of him in twenty minutes.
A person will sometimes devote all his life to the development of one part of his body - the wishbone.
A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.

Always fall in with what you're asked to accept. Take what is given, and make it over your way. My aim in life has always been to hold my own with whatever's going. Not against: with.
And nothing to look backward to with pride, and nothing to look forward to with hope.
And were an epitaph to be my story I'd have a short one ready for my own. I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover's quarrel with the world.
