I have found that if you love life, life will love you back.

There is no need searching for love, it cannot be found-it happens!

I played by the rules of politics as I found them.

Never give up on someone. Sometimes the answers you are looking for are the same answers another person is looking for. Two people searching together are always better than one person alone.

I found thee not, O Lord, without, because I erred in seeking thee without that wert within.

The shadow is dark and the woods are cold, but they are not endless. No matter how lost you are now, you are not lost forever. You are findable.Love just keeps on looking. Love is forever tries.

I became lost in a world darkened beyond any known shade of black, and the only light that I have seen since...Is you.

The man that wars with others is lost. The man that wars with himself is found.

Never mistake the uncomfortable feeling of insecurity and the fear of the unknown with the Holy Ghost’s promptings. Sometimes those feelings are simply Satan keeping you stuck where you are because he knows you will have a half-life there. He knows that you will spend half of your life disconnected, discontented and convincing your mind of what its heart will never accept. He knows when you have settled, gave up and didn’t try. Inaction is his greatest weapon, while regret is his second.

From the catbird seat, I've found poetry to be the necessary utterance it has always been in America.
