More sailors have drowned in words than in the sea.
~ Marty Rubin
Be a poet in action as well as in words.
The deep roots never doubt spring will come.
My faith likes mountains just where they are.
Writing is like life: it goes on.
A basket of ripe fruit is holier than any prayer book.
Whatever we may be or not be to others, to ourselves we are always just ourselves.
It takes a long time to learn how to do something simple.
Information is what you put in empty heads to keep them empty.
Knowledge is just a foundation. The whole point of a foundation is to build on it.
What should be boundless is one's love of life, not one's love of art or knowledge.
When Socrates said he knew nothing he still thought he knew more than anyone else.
What do I know about life? What does a windmill know about the wind?
The more diseases you know about the sicker you are.
Success in love is mostly luck, though we hate to admit.
We let life down: it doesn't let us down.
Success in politics is the art of the timely lie.
The question must be asked: have we been the beneficiaries or the victims of our education?
The real plague is willful ignorance and education can't cure that.
My education taught me a lot, but nothing I needed to learn.
Higher education-I wonder how much longer the deception can go on.
Art should be pretentious. The place to be sincere is in one's relationships.
Sorrow's children were raised on books.
The spiritual life to me has always meant just one thing: feeling.
The mouse that fears the trap has already been trapped.
Who do I love? I love people who are easy to talk to.
The thread connecting one person, one event, to another exists only in the imagination.
What's wrong with people is people. There's no cure for that.
Build your castle of dreams but don't live in it.
The Big Dream shattered splinters into a thousand little dreams.
Cities get built out of poet's dreams.
The rain that falls wherever it pleases. I want to be that rain.
Freedom began on the day the first sheep wandered away from the herd.
The wild ivy grows wherever it pleases.
Art is a space in which freedom tests its wings.
Drink freely the wine life offers you and don't worry how much you spill.
To know your soul is your own, that's what counts.
When a thing becomes indispensable it's time to give it up.
The scientist seeks laws; the historian, causes; the artist, freedom.
Artists, by their free expressions, encourage others to be free. This is the quality that makes works of art enduring.
