“I do not choose the right word, I get rid of the wrong one.”

Even when poetry has a meaning, as it usually has, it may be inadvisable to draw it out. Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure.

And silence sounds no worse than cheers After earth has stopped the ears.

Who made the world I cannot tell; ‘Tis made, and here am I in hell. My hand, though now my knuckles bleed, I never soiled with such a deed.

And silence sounds no worse than cheers After earth has stopped the ears.

The fairies break their dances And leave the printed lawn.

His folly has not fellow Beneath the blue of day That gives to man or woman His heart and soul away.

Stone, steel, dominions pass, Faith too, no wonder; So leave alone the grass That I am under.

But if you ever come to a road where danger; Or guilt or anguish or shame’s to share. Be good to the lad who loves you true, And the soul that was born to die for you; And whistle and I’ll be there.

I could no more define poetry than a terrier can define a rat.

And how am I to face the odds Of man’s bedevilment and God’s? I, a stranger and afraid In a world I never made.

Earth and high heaven are fixed of old and founded strong.

The average man, if he meddles with criticism at all, is a conservative critic.

Strapped, noosed, nighing his hour, He stood and counted them and cursed his luck; And then the clock collected in the tower Its strength, and struck.

When the journey’s over/There’ll be time enough to sleep.

He would not stay for me, and who can wonder? He would not stay for me to stand and gaze. I shook his hand, and tore my heart in sunder, And went with half my life about my ways.

I, a stranger and afraid, in a world I never made.

The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me.

Bring the white space in your life, which you can now choose how to fill.

Choose to focus each day on three things that will get you closer to your goals.

Move on – but keep in mind that history repeats itself, unless you choose to break the cycle.

Don’t forget that we have the power to choose how something affects us.

By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination.

People don’t choose who choose them. They’ll always choose who don’t choose them. Remember, beggars are not choosers, you get what is left. Choose wisely. 

Choose to connect with intelligent people who can change your thinking & your thinking can change your life.
