Poetic talent doesn't operate in a vacuum. There is a spirit of Polish poetry.

The world is full of poetry. The air is living with its spirit and the waves dance to the music of its melodies and sparkle in its brightness.

Poetry for me is as much a spiritual practice as sexual ecstasy is.

The true spirit of delight the exaltation the sense of being more than Man which is the touchstone of the highest excellence is to be found in mathematics as surely as poetry.

I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat I am sure could walk on a cloud without coming through.

The Peace Corps is guilty of enthusiasm and a crusading spirit. But we're not apologetic about it.

Imagine the peace symbol. The peace symbol has three pieces in it. One piece is emotion that's your body. Another piece has spirit in it that's your fuel. Another piece has intellect in it and that's your steering wheel. You can never overdo the fuel that goes into the body which is the emotions and the steering wheel to drive it.

Mankind will never win lasting peace so long as men use their full resources only in tasks of war. While we are yet at peace let us mobilize the potentialities particularly the moral and spiritual potentialities which we usually reserve for war.

Religion brings to man an inner strength spiritual light and ineffable peace.

Never be in a hurry do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever even if your whole world seems upset.
