"I discover myself on the verge of..." - Quote by Walt Whitman

“The best writing has no lace on its sleeves.”

“The truth is simple. If it was complicated, everyone would understand it.”

“I wear my hat as I please, indoors or out.”

“I am not bothered by the fact that I am not understood. I am bothered when I do not know others.”

“The follies of the wise man are known to himself, but hidden from the world.”

“When I did A Soldier's Story, I was very young and green and thought I knew everything-now I know I know everything!”

“The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything.”

“Successful people...focus on the rewards of success: learning from their mistakes and thinking about how they can improve themselves and their situations.”

“We learn from our mistakes, we do some reflection, we lick our wounds, we brush ourselves off - then we go forward, with the presumption of good faith in our fellow citizens.”
