Who over-refines his argument brings himself to grief

Our erected wit maketh us to know what perfection is.

The poet nothing affirmeth and therefore never lieth.

Flow wine, smile woman, and the universe is consoled.

To each man at his birth nature has given some fault.

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart.

Everything terrible is something that needs our love.

Nothing touches a work of art so little as criticism.

Keep up you conjugal love in constant heat and vigor.

Nothing speaks our grief so well as to speak nothing.

Locked up from mortal eye in shady leaves of destiny.

Fishes that tipple in the deep, Know no such liberty.

Those who murder fame Kill more than life destroyers.

We have not touched the stars, nor are we forgiven...

What's a word, a talisman, to hold against the world?

Wings are a constraint that makes it possible to fly.

All poetry is putting the infinite within the finite.

The best laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley.

The afternoon knows what the morning never suspected.

Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice.

You can be a rank insider as well as a rank outsider.

To be a poet is a condition rather than a profession.

The person lives twice who lives the first life well.

Poetry is not the record of an event: it is an event.

The Wanderlust has got me... by the belly-aching fire

I remember little of the Yukon or what I wrote there.

There's something contagious about demanding freedom.

Truth makes love possible; love makes truth bearable.

Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk.

What hurts you, blesses you. Darkness is your candle.

There is a King Who is aware of every Mask you put on

A Breath of love can take you all the way to infinity

Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames

We are the Sun with all the different kinds of Light.

Till man destroys "self" he is no true friend of God.

The wealth within you, your essence, is your kingdom.

I'm dominated by Love, By my passion of love for Love

Your light is more magnificent than sunrise or sunset

There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled.

Look at the moon in the sky, not the one in the lake.

Flow down and down in always widening rings of being.

Concentrate on the Essence, concentrate on the Light.

Do not believe in an absurdity no matter who says it.

There's courage involved if you want to become Truth.

A thief loves the night. I am day. I reveal essences.

Every object, every being...is a jar full of delight.

Loosen the bonds of avarice from your hands and neck.

.. . . would I were In Grantchester, in Grantchester!

A traveler without knowledge is a bird without wings.

He who is a slave to his stomach seldom worships God.
