To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.
By simple common sense I don't believe in God, in none.
Simplicity is a difficult thing to achieve.
They cheer me because they all understand me, and they cheer you because no one understands you.
Smile, though your heart is aching. Smile, even though it's breaking. When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by if you smile through your pain and sorrow. Smile and maybe tomorrow, you'll see the sun come shining through for you.
A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.
The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.
my lips never know my problem they just always smile
Why should poetry have to make sense?
Like everyone else I am what I am: an individual, unique and different, with a lineal history of ancestral promptings and urgings; a history of dreams, desires, and of special experiences, all of which I am the sum total.
Even when I was in the orphanage, when I was roaming the street trying to find enough to eat, even then I thought of myself as the greatest actor in the world. I had to feel the exuberance that comes from utter confidence in yourself. Without it, you go down to defeat.
As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I know, this is "AUTHENTICITY".
The mirror is my best friend because when I cry it never laughs.
What do you want a meaning for? Life is a desire, not a meaning.
