We must learn to regard people less in light of what they do or omit to do and more in the light of what they suffer.

I lived by the candlelight for two years because I couldn't afford power. It was nice and romantic at the time but if you can't afford power you're pretty broke. You endure it.

No horse gets anywhere until he is harnessed. No stream or gas drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows great until it is focused dedicated disciplined.

A picture must possess a real power to generate light and for a long time now I've been conscious of expressing myself through light or rather in light.

I try to keep it light and positive most of the time whereas earlier on I didn't always do that.

I take any opportunity I can to raise our country's flag really high and get some shining positive light on things over there.

The nature of catastrophe is after all reasonably unvarying in the way it ruins destroys wounds and devastates. But if something can be learned from the event - not least something as profound as the theory of plate tectonics - then it somehow puts the ruination into a much more positive light.

To delight in war is a merit in the soldier a dangerous quality in the captain and a positive crime in the statesman.

If you are given a chance to be a role model I think you should always take it because you can influence a person's life in a positive light and that's what I want to do. That's what it's all about.

No matter what you're going through there's a light at the end of the tunnel and it may seem hard to get to it but you can do it and just keep working towards it and you'll find the positive side of things.

As I became very defined in my personal politics I turned down some films that I slightly regret now I'm not going to say what they were.

We are naive and moralistic women. We are human beings who find politics a blight upon the human condition. And do not know how one copes with it except through politics.

The art of politics consists in knowing precisely when it is necessary to hit an opponent slightly below the belt.

In no relationship at the top of any walk of life is it always easy least of all in politics which matters so much and which is conducted in such a piercing spotlight.

Politics is like football if you see daylight go through the hole.

For every talent that poverty has stimulated it has blighted a hundred.

Since the printing press came into being poetry has ceased to be the delight of the whole community of man it has become the amusement and delight of the few.

No what I should really like to do right now in the full blaze of lights before this illustrious assembly is to shower every one of you with gifts with flowers with offerings of poetry - to be young once more to ride on the crest of the wave.

To know anything of a poet but his poetry is so far as the poetry is concerned to know something that may be entertaining even delightful but is certainly inessential.

I have been enlightened. I have fallen into poetry and it has swallowed me up.

There is no gilding of setting sun or glamor of poetry to light up the ferocious and endless toil of the farmers' wives.

Frankly writing poetry for children is plain old fun and I consider myself blessed to have such a delightful career.

A very intimate sense of the expressiveness of outward things which ponders listens penetrates where the earlier less developed consciousness passed lightly by is an important element in the general temper of our modern poetry.

What other people may find in poetry or art museums I find in the flight of a good drive.
