• I greet every new day with the words, 'Thank you, thank you, thank you.' That's the state of mind that directs me, fulfills me, and sends me out into the world with a gift to share.

• Day, night, late, early,
  At home, abroad, alone, in company,
  Waking or sleeping, still my care hath been
  To have her match'd; and having now provided
  A gentleman of princely parentage,
  Of fair demesnes, youthful, and nobly train'd,
  Stuff'd, as they say, with honourable parts,
  Proportion'd as one's thought would wish a man-
  And then to have a wretched puling fool,
  A whining mammet, in her fortune's tender,
  To answer 'I'll not wed, I cannot love;
  I am too young, I pray you pardon me'!

• Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how?
  The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
  I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
  
  Great Nature has another thing to do
  To you and me, so take the lively air,
  And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
  
  This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
  What falls away is always. And is near.
  I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
  I learn by going where I have to go.
