Hold fast to dreams,For if dreams dieLife is a broken-winged... - Langston Hughes

"Humor is laughing at what you haven't got when you ought to have it."

"I went down to the river,I set down on the bank.I tried to think but couldn't,So I jumped in and sank."

"Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love.I like to work, read, learn, and understand life."

"Though you may hear me holler,And you may see me cry--I'll be dogged, sweet baby,If you gonna see me die."

"Cheap little rhymesA cheap little tuneAre sometimes as dangerousAs a sliver of the moon."
