The world is full of willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.
It is the future that creates his present.
All is an interminable chain of longing.
Home is the place where, when you have to go there,
They have to take you in.
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life — It goes on.
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
The fact is the sweetest dream that labor knows.
It begins in delight and ends in wisdom.

We dance round in a ring and suppose,
But the Secret sits in the middle and knows.
We love the things we love for what they are.
Like a piece of ice on a hot stove the poem must ride on its own melting.
Courage is of the heart by derivation,
And great it is. But fear is of the soul.
Here are your waters and your watering place.
Drink and be whole again beyond confusion.

Is due to truths being in and out of favor.
A jury consists of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer.
