Every man's task is his life-preserver.

It is the privilege of any human work which is well done to invest the doer with a certain haughtiness.

The life of labor does not make men, but drudges.

We put our love where we have put our labor.

A poem, a sentence, causes us to see ourselves. I be, and I see my being, at the same time.

In good writing, words become one with things.

The maker of a sentence launches out into the infinite and builds a road into Chaos and old Night, and is followed by those who hear him with something of wild, creative delight.

You cannot do wrong without suffering wrong.

In youth, we clothe ourselves with rainbows, and go as brave as the zodiac.

When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.
