We get twitted now and then on how we made this country. Well, we took the whole business, of course. It's not just that corner that we took from Mexico.

The only way round is through.

We love the things we love for what they are.

Image
A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel.
Robert Frost
Image
Families break up when they get hints you don't intend and miss hints that you do.
Robert Frost
Image
When clever people ask me where I get a poem, I despair.
Robert Frost
Image
A person will sometimes devote all his life to the development of one part of his body - the wishbone.
Robert Frost
Image
Love at the lips was touch As sweet as I could bear And once that seemed too much I lived on air.

Nature's first green is gold.

We're either nothing or a God's regret.
