Carl Sandburg

Sometime they'll give a war and nobody will come.

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.

The moon is a friend for the lonesome to talk to.

When a nation goes down, or a society perishes, one condition may always be found; they forgot where they came from. They lost sight of what had brought them along.

Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.

I doubt if you can have a truly wild party without liquor.

I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes, so live not in your yesterdays, no just for tomorrow, but in the here and now. Keep moving and forget the post mortems; and remember, no one can get the jump on the future.

The secret of happiness is to admire without desiring.
