Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed.

I dwell in possibility.

Beauty is not caused. It is.

Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.

I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.

Celebrity is the chastisement of merit and the punishment of talent.

God is not so wary as we, else He would give us no friends, lest we forget Him! The charms of the heaven in the bush are superseded, I fear, by the heaven in the hand, occasionally.

The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.

Morning without you is a dwindled dawn.

If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.

Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality.

Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.

Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath.

To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And revery. The revery alone will do, If bees are few.

How strange that nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude!

If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry.

There is no Frigate like a book to take us lands away nor any coursers like a page of prancing Poetry.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Truth is so rare that it is delightful to tell it.

Tell the truth, but tell it slant.

Luck is not chance, it's toil; fortune's expensive smile is earned.

Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all.

I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven.

Sisters are brittle things. God was penurious with me, which makes me shrewd with Him. One is a dainty sum! One bird, one cage, one flight; one song in those far woods, as yet suspected by faith only!

Where thou art, that is home.

I argue thee that love is life. And life hath immortality.

To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.

That it will never come again is what makes life sweet.

They might not need me; but they might. I'll let my head be just in sight; a smile as small as mine might be precisely their necessity.

My biggest fear in life is to be forgotten.

If I have to apply five turns to the screw each day for the happiness of Argentina, I will do it.

I had watched for many years and seen how a few rich families held much of Argentina's wealth and power in their hands. So Peron and the government brought in an eight hour working day, sickness pay and fair wages to give poor workers a fair go .

The nation's government has just handed me the bill that grants us our civil rights. I am receiving it before you, certain that I am accepting this on behalf of all Argentinean women, and I can feel my hands tremble with joy as they grasp the laurel proclaiming victory.

I know that, like every woman of the people, I have more strength than I appear to have.

When the rich think about the poor, they have poor ideas.

Time is my greatest enemy.

Keeping books on social aid is capitalistic nonsense. I just use the money for the poor. I can't stop to count it.

I am my own woman.

I demanded more rights for women because I know what women had to put up with.

The science of psychology has been far more successful on the negative than on the positive side... It has revealed to us much about man's shortcomings, his illnesses, his sins, but little about his potentialities, his virtues, his achievable aspirations, or his psychological health.

It is as necessary for man to live in beauty rather than ugliness as it is necessary for him to have food for an aching belly or rest for a weary body.

But behavior in the human being is sometimes a defense, a way of concealing motives and thoughts, as language can be a way of hiding your thoughts and preventing communication.

One's only rival is one's own potentialities. One's only failure is failing to live up to one's own possibilities. In this sense, every man can be a king, and must therefore be treated like a king.

We fear to know the fearsome and unsavory aspects of ourselves, but we fear even more to know the godlike in ourselves.

Education can become a self-fulfilling activity, liberating in and of itself.

What we need is a system of thought - you might even call it a religion - that can bind humans together. A system that would fit the Republic of Chad as well as the United States: a system that would supply our idealistic young people with something to believe in.

Work is that which you dislike doing but perform for the sake of external rewards. At school, this takes the form of grades. In society, it means money, status, privilege.

All the evidence that we have indicates that it is reasonable to assume in practically every human being, and certainly in almost every newborn baby, that there is an active will toward health, an impulse towards growth, or towards the actualization.
