Born: -

The powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.

Whoever you are, now I place my hand upon you / That you may be my poem.

Give me the splendid, silent sun with all his beams full-dazzling.

Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.

Simplicity is the glory of expression.

Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)

Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you. You must travel it by yourself.

Dismiss whatever insults your soul.

I exist as I am, that is enough.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine And shadows will fall behind you.

Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.
