"We crucify ourselves between two thieves:
regret for yesterday and fear of tomorrow."
"The horror is the monster known as mankind."
"O! ye that love mankind! Ye that dare oppose not only the tyranny but the tyrant, stand forth! Every spot of the old world is overrun with oppression. Freedom hath been hunted around the globe. Asia and Africa have long expelled her. Europe regards her as a stranger and England hath given her warning to depart. O! receive
and prepare in time an asylum for mankind."
"Give me a handful of West Point graduates and I'll
win a battle. Give me a handful of Texas Aggies and
I'll win a war."

Childhood wonder gives us our spirit and beauty."

the cost."

mean you're wrong. Many times throughout history
its been a sole voice that's been the right one."

"When a woman truly weeps, the tears come from the deepest and darkest corners of the heart."
"Hell is more than half of paradise."
"The city is full of shadows...one more won't make it
any darker."
"When everybody has got money they cut taxes, and when they're broke they raise 'em. That's statesmanship of the highest order."
"The fear of death keeps us from living."
"A country for sale and soon to perish if it finds a buyer."
"You for your grief and I for mine."

at dusk."

"Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance."
"I cried over beautiful things, knowing
no beautiful thing lasts."

"Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for
a reason."

we trust?"
"Cowards die many die many times before their death.
The valiant never taste of death but once."
"To see sad sights moves more than hear them told."
"Words pay no debts."
"She says nothing, yet she speaks."
"I'd rather have a fool to make me happy than experience to make me sad."
"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
March in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."
"Doubt the stars are fire.
Doubt the sun doth move.
Doubt truth to be a liar.
But never doubt I love."
"We look before and after,
And pine for what is not...
Our sweetest songs are those
That tell of saddest thought."
"What are all these kisses worth if I kiss not thee?"
"History must repeat itself because we pay such little attention to it the first time."
"But 'tis well and right -
Safest you will find -
That the Out of Sight
Should be Out of Mind."
"Perish dark memories! There's light ahead; this world's for the living, not for the dead."
"Love me more or not at all."
"Painting is silent poetry, and poetry painting that speaks."
"There is uncertainty and darkness at the heart of something as simple as a circle."
"Why ruin the day with a lot of unnecessary bleeding and screaming?"
"The first rule of life is living."
"I remember being a sophomore...it was the three best years of my life."
"Every time we change presidents, it is as if the United States becomes another country."
"Can words make you bleed? Sometimes."
"We can't even trust our own government."

There are balms for all our pain;
But when youth, the dream, departs,
It takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again."

(He dreams awake.)
"Laws are like cobwebs, which may catch small flies, but let wasps and hornets break through."
"We have just enough religon to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another."
"My tears...no tears of Love, but tears that Love can die."
"If I were loved I as desire to be,
What is there in the great sphere of the earth,
And range of evil between death and birth,
That I should fear - if I were loved by thee?
All the inner, all the outer world of pain
Clear Love would pierce and cleave,
If thou wert mine."

"I was born an American, I live an American, I shall die an American."
"When my eyes shall be turned to behold for the last time the sun in heaven, may I not see him shining on the broken and dishonored fragments of a once gloriuos Union; the States dissevered, discordant, belligerent; on a land rent with civil fueds, or drenched, it may be, in fraternal blood."
