A wise nation should cultivate a political spirit that allows opponents to cooperate without fearing an automatic execution from their core supporters. Who knew that the real rogues in American politics would be the ones who dare to get along?

I'm not an old experienced hand at politics. But I am now seasoned enough to have learned that the hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning.

I think that you can disagree with people and debate over their positions with issues without engaging in the politics of personal destruction.

Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.

Religion is no more possible without prayer than poetry without language or music without atmosphere.

I read as much poetry as time allows and circumstance dictates: No heartache can pass without a little Dorothy Parker no thunderstorm without W. H. Auden no sleepless night without W. B. Yeats.

In rap music even though the element of poetry is very strong so is the element of the drum the implication of the dance. Without the beat its commercial value would certainly be more tenuous.

Once every five hundred years or so a summary statement about poetry comes along that we can't imagine ourselves living without.

I have always made my own rules in poetry as in life - though I have tried of late to cooperate more with my family. I do however believe that without order or pattern poetry is useless.

Rap is poetry to music like beatniks without beards and bongos.

Perhaps no person can be a poet or even enjoy poetry without a certain unsoundness of mind.

It is time to get drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of Time get drunk get drunk without stopping! On wine on poetry or on virtue as you wish.

I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry but a kind of instinct or inspiration such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean.

When you want a break from dogs and you take them to the kennel to the stars no one thinks you're a bad pet owner. But when you have kids you can't drop them off for three weeks without someone calling Child Protective Services!

I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat I am sure could walk on a cloud without coming through.

Well I think by any expectation South Africa has come a tremendously long way. We've seen a society that many people thought couldn't withstand a peaceful transition to democracy without a great deal of violence in fact make that transition and do it in relative peace and security.

It is a grave matter to enter a war without adequate military preparation it may prove fatal to come into peace without moral and religious preparation.

For me to propose a division of Jerusalem was really terrible. I did it because I reached a conclusion that without which there will not be peace.

The law of nations is naturally founded on this principle that different nations ought in time of peace to do one another all the good they can and in time of war as little injury as possible without prejudicing their real interests.

It would behoove the world to become used to this fact: that without a just solution to the Palestine tragedy there can be no stable peace in the Middle East.

Without peace and without the overwhelming majority of people that believe in peace defending it working for it believing in it security can never really be a reality.

I don't have to run the Peace Corps. I could live without seeing my picture in the newspapers and without being interviewed.

Peace without justice is tyranny.

I am deeply concerned that without peace and a two-state solution the Jewish and democratic nature of Israel is in danger. That's why I have opposed Israel's settlement policy since 1973 and that's why I have favored a two-state solution since 1967.
