The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world... to see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.

Probably all the attention to poetry results in some value, though the attention is more often directed to lesser than to greater values.

I feel that my father's greatest legacy was the people he inspired to get involved in public service and their communities, to join the Peace Corps, to go into space. And really that generation transformed this country in civil rights, social justice, the economy and everything.

The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.

Becoming a father increases your capacity for love and your level of patience. It opens up another door in a person - a door which you may not even have known was there.
