Favourite Quotes
Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
I have got promises to keep. And miles to go before I sleep!
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that is wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise!
O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?
He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sunrise.
Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He who can call today his own;
He who, secure within, can say,
Tomorrow, do thy worst, for I have lived today.
