Education doesn't change life much. It just lifts trouble to a higher plane of regard.
The middle of the road is where the white line is - and that's the worst place to drive.
I never knew what was meant by choice of words. It was one word or none.
A successful lawsuit is the one worn by a policeman.
I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering.
Education is hanging around until you've caught on.
Anything more than the truth would be too much.
One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.
The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day.
I turned to speak to God About the world's despair But to make bad matters worse I found God wasn't there.
The land was ours before we were the land's. She was our land more than a hundred years Before we were her people.
Nothing can make injustice just but mercy.
But not gold in commercial quantities, Just enough gold to make the engagement rings And marriage rings of those who owned the farm. What gold more innocent could one have asked for?
Courage is the human virtue that counts most-courage to act on limited knowledge and insufficient evidence. That's all any of us have.
