We must treasure the achievers of our land because it's they who raise the sights of all the others.

As for political poetry, as it's usually defined, it seems there's very little good political poetry.

Kenneth Koch

Nothing can atone for the lack of modesty without which beauty is ungraceful and wit detestable.

Richard Steele

Perfect love has a breath of poetry which can exalt the relations of the least-instructed human beings.

George Eliot

It is the unseen and the spiritual in people that determines the outward and the actual.

Thomas Carlyle

If God dropped acid, would he see people?

Steven Wright

A wise woman recognizes when her life is out of balance and summons the courage to act to correct it, she knows the meaning of true generosity, happiness is the reward for a life lived in harmony, with a courage and grace.

Suze Orman

There's too much beauty upon this earth For lonely men to bear.

Richard Le Gallienne

Business is always interfering with pleasure - but it makes other pleasures possible.

William Feather

Freedom lies in being bold.

Robert Frost

If there ever was a militant religion, it was that of early New England.

Paul Harris

The great difference between those who succeed and those who fail does not consist in the amount of work done by each but in the amount of intelligent work. Many of those who fail most ignominiously do enough to achieve grand success but they labor haphazardly at whatever they are assigned, building up with one hand to tear down with the other. They do not grasp circumstances and change them into opportunities. They have no faculty for turning honest defeats into telling victories. With ability enough and ample time, the major ingredients of success, they are forever throwing back and forth an empty shuttle and the real web of their life is never woven.

Og Mandino

Yeah, I try to be the best example I can be for young girls just as far as my person goes - just to uphold a good image.

Miranda Lambert
