I am really sorry to see my countrymen trouble themselves about politics. If men were wise, the most arbitrary princes could not hurt them. If they are not wise, the freest government is compelled to be a tyranny. Princes appear to me to be fools. Houses of Commons and Houses of Lords appear to me to be fools; they seem to me to be something else besides human life. |
I am sure this Jesus will not do, / Either for Englishman or Jew. |
I can look at the knot in a piece of wood until it frightens me. |
I care not whether a man is good or evil; all that I care / Is whether he is a wise man or a fool. Go! put off holiness, / And put on intellect. |
I cry, Love! Love! Love! happy happy Love! free as the mountain wind! |
I do not like the man's face. He looks as if he will live to be hanged. |
I feel that a Man may be happy in This World. And I know that This World Is a World of Imagination & Vision. |
I give you the end of a golden string; / Only wind it into a ball, / It will lead you in at Heaven's gate, / Built in Jerusalem's wall. |
I have mental joys and mental health, Mental friends and mental wealth, I've a wife that I love and that loves me; I've all but riches bodily. |
I heard an Angel singing When the day was springing, "Mercy, Pity, Peace Is the world's release." |
I looked for my soul but my soul I could not see. I looked for my God but my God eluded me. I looked for a friend and then I found all three. |
I love laughing. |
I must Create a System or be enslav'd by another Man's |
I must Create a System or be enslav'd by another Man's |
I must Create a System, or be enslaved by another Man's; / I will not Reason and Compare; my business is to Create. |
