“What we have loved, others will love, and we will teach them how; instruct them how the mind of man becomes a thousand times more beautiful than the earth on which he dwells...” 

“...and in thy voice I catch the language of my former heart, and read my former pleasures in the shooting lights of thy wild eyes.” 

“A cheerful life is what the Muses love, A soaring spirit is their prime delight.” 

“The best portion of a good man's life: his little, nameless unremembered acts of kindness and love.” 

“Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.” 

“The good die first, and they whose hearts are dry as summer dust, burn to the socket.” 

“A simple child. That lightly draws its breath. And feels its life in every limb. What should it know of death?” 

“Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting...” 

"“Wisdom is oft-times nearer when we stoop Than when we soar.”"

“For I have learned to look on nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth; but hearing oftentimes the still, sad music of humanity.” 

“I have felt a presence that disturbs me with the joy of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime of something far more deeply interfused, whose dwelling is the light of setting suns, and the round ocean, and the living air, and the blue sky, and in the mind of man...” 

“What though the radiance that was once so bright, be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.” 

“A deep distress hath humanised my soul.” 

How does the Meadow flower its bloom unfold? Because the lovely little flower is free down to its root, and in that freedom bold.

The flower that smells the sweetest is shy and lowly.

I came from a real tough neighborhood. Once a guy pulled a knife on me. I knew he wasn't a professional, the knife had butter on it.

What a kid I got, I told him about the birds and the bees and he told me about the butcher and my wife.

Once I pulled a job, I was so stupid. I picked a guy's pocket on an airplane and made a run for it.

I came from a real tough neighborhood. Why, every time I shut the window I hurt somebody's fingers.

I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof.

When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I always found them.

My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.

I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet.

I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.

I told my wife the truth. I told her I was seeing a psychiatrist. Then she told me the truth: that she was seeing a psychiatrist, two plumbers, and a bartender.

I say 'no' to drugs. Whenever someone asks me for some of my drugs I say, 'no.

My doctor told me to watch my drinking. Now I drink in front of a mirror.

I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out.

I saved a girl from being attacked last night. I controlled myself.

A girl phoned me the other day and said, 'Come on over. There's nobody home.' I went over. Nobody was home.

When I was born I was so ugly the doctor slapped my mother.

Last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it.

Look out for number one and try not to step in number two.

Life's a short trip. You'll find out.

My wifes cooking is so bad the flys fix our screens

When I was kidnapped as a child my parents sent a letter to the hijackers me Pay 5,000 dollars or your back

I found there was only one way to look thin: hang out with fat people.

My wife and I were happy for twenty year. Then we met.

What a doctor I’ve got—he’s really mixed up. Last week, he grabbed my knee and told me to cough. Then he hit me in the balls with a hammer.

I came from a real tough neighborhood. I put my hand in some cement and felt another hand.

I haven't spoken to my wife in years. I didn't want to interrupt her.

Marriage...it's not a word, it's a sentence.

I get no respect. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest.

I'm taking Viagra and drinking prune juice - I don't know if I'm coming or going.

I worked in a pet store and people would ask how big I would get.

A girl phoned me the other day and said... 'Come on over, there's nobody home.' I went over. Nobody was home.

Yeah, I know I'm ugly... I said to a bartender, 'Make me a zombie.' He said 'God beat me to it.'

Acting deals with very delicate emotions. It is not putting up a mask. Each time an actor acts he does not hide; he exposes himself.

Men who do things without being told draw the most wages.

I looked up my family tree and found three dogs using it.
