"Hear the meaning within the word...." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“This England never did, nor never shall,Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror,But when it first did help to wound itself.Now these her princes are come home again,Come the three corners of the world in arms,And we shall shock them. Nought shall make us rue,If England to itself do rest but true.”

“Here feel we but the penalty of Adam,The seasons' difference, as the icy fangAnd churlish chiding of the winter's wind,Which, when it bites and blows upon my body,Even till I shrink with cold, I smile.”

“A jest's prosperity lies in the ear Of him that hears it, never in the tongue Of him that makes it.”

“Words do two major things: They provide food for the mind and create light for understanding and awareness.”

“There is a lot of ignorance, and I don't mean intellectual ignorance. I mean people think that if you get something, it will take away from what I have. It's just ignorance.”

“In a way, you are poetry material; You are full of cloudy subtleties I am willing to spend a lifetime figuring out. Words burst in your essence and you carry their dust in the pores of your ethereal individuality.”

“Methinks the human method of expression by sound of tongue is very elementary, and ought to be substituted for some ingenious invention which should be able to give vent to at least six coherent sentences at once.”

“The last thing I'd learn, well into my career, was how to get on, how to say hello, how to get in with the audience.”

“I too realize that the less I preach the more likely I am to be heard.”
