Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.

I'd fallen in love with a woman but she broke up with me and I was devastated. Six months later I went into a suicidal depression from the break-up of the relationship but I resolved to not do what my friends had done. And so I reached out for help.

My relationship with Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm reaches far back into my childhood. I grew up with Grimm's fairy tales. I even saw a theater production of 'Tom Thumb' during Advent at the State Theater in Danzig which my mother took me to see.

The power of choosing good and evil is within the reach of all.

To give aid to every poor man is far beyond the reach and power of every man. Care of the poor is incumbent on society as a whole.

Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.

One out of every 100 American men is HIV positive. The rate of infection has reached epidemic proportions in 40 developing nations.

I call it people-to-people politics and that's what politics should be about reaching out and helping one another and touching one another about what we're going to do.

I kept a steel wall around my moral and sexual instincts - protecting them I thought from the threats of the real world. This gave me a tremendous advantage in politics if not in my soul. The true me my spiritual core slipped further and further from reach.

And humility in politics means accepting that one party doesn't have all the answers recognising that working in partnership is progress not treachery.

Flipping the dial through available radio stations there will blare out to any listener an array of broadcasts 24/7 propagating Religious Right politics along with what they deem to be 'old-time gospel preaching.' This is especially true of what comes over the airwaves in Bible Belt southern states.

There is no act of treachery or meanness of which a political party is not capable for in politics there is no honour.

Poetry is an art the easiest to dabble in but the hardest to reach true excellence.

Poetry is an art and chief of the fine art the easiest to dabble in the hardest in which to reach true excellence.

Poetry had far better imply things than preach them directly... in the open pulpit her voice grows hoarse and fails.

It is a happy thing that there is no royal road to poetry. The world should know by this time that one cannot reach Parnassus except by flying thither.

The other side of it is that despite all that people reach out to poetry at the key moments in their lives.
