I know some people might think it odd - unworthy even - for me to have written a cookbook, but I make no apologies. The U.S. poet laureate Billy Collins thought I had demeaned myself by writing poetry for Hallmark Cards, but I am the people’s poet so I write for the people Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel Picture Quote #1

I’m young as morning and fresh as dew. Everybody loves me and so do you Picture Quote #1

Exchange love for hate...Thereby, making the present comfortable and the future promising Picture Quote #1

Love life. Engage in it. Give it all you’ve got. Love it with a passion because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it Picture Quote #1

God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us - in the dreariest and most dreaded moments - can see a possibility of hope Picture Quote #1

I want to be a good human being. I’m doing my best, and I’m working at it Picture Quote #1

I find in my poetry and prose the rhythms and imagery of the best - I mean, when I’m at my best - of the good Southern black preachers.

I’ve always written. There’s a journal which I kept from about 9 years old. The man who gave it to me lived across the street from the store and kept it when my grandmother’s papers were destroyed.

In a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality and violence, love exists. I’m grateful to know that it exists Picture Quote #1

I have great respect for the past. If you don’t know where you’ve come from, you don’t know where you’re going. I have respect for the past, but I’m a person of the moment. I’m here, and I do my best to be completely centered at the place I’m at, then I go forward to the next place Picture Quote #1

I am capable of what every other human is capable of. This is one of the great lessons of war and life Picture Quote #1

If I’m the people’s poet, then I ought to be in people’s hands - and, I hope, in their heart Picture Quote #1

If I walked into the kitchen without washing my hands as a kid, I’d hear a loud ‘A-hem!’ from my mother or grandmother. Now I count on other people to do the same Picture Quote #1

Whether you are happy or whether you are sad, it is wise to remember you are really in process Picture Quote #1

It’s hard because people think they have something to lose and the truth is they have everything to gain in trying to love somebody Picture Quote #1

It may in fact be utterly impossible to be successful without helping others to become successful Picture Quote #1
