“Delight and liberty, the simple creed of childhood.”

“The thought of our past years in me doth breed Perpetual benediction: not indeed For that which is most worthy to be blest— Delight and liberty, the simple creed Of Childhood, whether busy or at rest, With new-fledged hope still fluttering in his breast.”

“What more felicity can fall to creature, than to enjoy delight with liberty.”

“Be nice. Be good. Be happy. If people everywhere were to keep to this simple creed, there'd be few problems left in the world to fret about.”

“Everything around us is falling:Joy,Childhood,Poetry notebooks,Dream trees.Everything is narrowing down,Even the space of the sea,And the space of liberty.”

“And where we are met with cynicism and doubt and fear and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of the American people in three simple words -yes, we can.”
