It represents a Bible verse I wear on my shoe. Philippians 4:13. It says 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' It's also my mantra, how I get up for games and why I play the way I do.
Stephen Curry

With the farming of a verse Make a vineyard of the curse
W. H. Auden
Image
The best verse hasn't been rhymed yet, The best house hasn't been planned, The highest peak hasn't been climbed yet, The mightiest rivers aren't spanned Don't worry and fret, faint-hearted, The chances have just begun For the best jobs haven't been started, The best work hasn't been done.
Berton Braley

What I do say is that I can write verse, and that the writing of verse in strict form is the best possible training for writing good prose
Philip Pullman

I have not the slightest pretension to call my verses poetry I write now and then for no other purpose than to relieve depression or to improve my English.
Alfred Nobel

A book of verses underneath the bough, A jug of wine, a loaf of bread-and thou.
Edward Fitzgerald

All the modern verse plays, they're terrible they're mostly about the poetry. It's more important that the play is first.
Denis Johnson

Longfellow has his popularity, in the main, because he tells his story or his idea so that one needs nothing but his verses to understand it.
William Butler Yeats
Image
A Creator must exist. The Big Bang ripples and subsequent scientific findings are clearly pointing to an ex nihilo creation consistent with the first few verses of the book of Genesis.
Henry F. Schaefer, III
Image
Of all human events, perhaps, the publication of a first volume of verses is the most insignificant but though a matter of no moment to the world, it is still of some concern to the author.
Herman Melville
Image
I have wonderful band mates that make music that I'm forced to listen to for hours on end until I come up with verses, and that in itself is an inspiration - they're awesome.

Making verses is almost as common as taking snuff, and God can tell what miserable stuff people carry about in their pockets, and offer to all their acquaintances, and you know one cannot refuse reading and taking a pinch.
Mary Wortley Montagu
Image
We can die by it, if not live by love, And if unfit for tombs and hearse Our legend be, it will be fit for verse And if no peace of chronicle we prove, We'll build in sonnet pretty rooms As well a well wrought urne becomes The greatest ashes, as half-acre tombs.
John Donne
Image
I have never injured anybody with a mordant poem my verse contains charges against nobody. Ingenuous, I have shunned wit steeped in venom--not a letter of mine is dipped in poisonous jest.
Ovid
Image
You now have learned enough to see That Cats are much like you and me And other people whom we find Possessed of various types of mind. For some are sane and some are mad And some are good and some are bad And some are better, some are worse — But all may be described in verse.
Garrison Keillor

Guys that preach verse-by-verse through books of the Bible - that is just cheating. It's cheating because that would be easy, first of all. That isn't how you grow people. No one in the Scripture modeled that.

Poets may boast (as safely-vain) Their work shall with the world remain: Both bound together, live, or die, The verses and the prophecy. But who can hope his lines shou'd long Last, in a daily changing tongue? While they are new, envy prevails, And as that dies, our language fails.
Edmund Waller

John Walter Bratton

I can work on a verse for a very long time before realising it's not any good and then, and only then, can I discard it.
Leonard Cohen

There are some pop songs I hate but I can't get them out of my head. Our songs also have the standard pop format: Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, bad solo. All in all, I think we sound like The Knack and the Bay City Rollers being molested by Black Flag and Black Sabbath.
Kurt Cobain

I always had, you know, in the book of Hebrews, I think it's chapter 11, verse 1, where it says, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. I always had this sense that there was something on the other side. That there was something better.

No verse can give pleasure for long, nor last, that is written by drinkers of water.
