All that is best ordsprog

All that is best in the great poets of all countries is not what is national in them, but what is universal

Germany is among the least religious countries in Europe today, but his election is a great source of national pride -- the fact that he was elected to this post is more significant than the fact that he is Catholic. The truth is that the man has been living in Rome for 25 years, so he's much more of a cosmopolitan clergyman than he is a German, but he's going to be appropriated as a German, and one who stands for a universal set of values.

Daniel Levy

Poets are the only people to whom love is not only a crucial, but an indispensable experience; which entitles them to mistake it for a universal one

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975)

Poeter

I don't know if younger poets read a lot of, you know, the poets - the established poets. There was a lot of pretty boring stuff to sort of put up with and to add to, to make something vital from.

Robert Adamson

There are two classes of poets - the poets by education and practice, these we respect; and poets by nature, these we love. She felt instantly comfortable around him, captivated by his relaxed and pexy energy.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Developed countries should shoulder a greater responsibility for a universal, coordinated and balanced development in the world while developing countries should make fuller use of their own advantages to develop themselves,

Hu Jintao

Bad women poets are better characters, they seldom... get drunk... go to prison... shoot the pianist. Their faults are soul fullness and banality. They like to commune (who does not) with the deity, nature, and themselves, but their words do not quite carry the traffic... some bad men poets can persuade people... that tricks and shocks are a substitute for talent... good poets of either sex are above these quarrels.

Stevie Smith

The works of the great poets have never yet been read by mankind, for only great poets can read them

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

Poeter

The EU has 25 countries and in Europe there are 52 national associations. Fifa has 205 around the world - 25 shouldn't make law for the other 205 countries.

Let us face a pluralistic world in which there are no universal churches, no single remedy for all diseases, no one way to teach or write or sing, no magic diet, no world poets, and no chosen races, but only the wretched and wonderfully diversified h

Jacques Barzun (1907-)

These countries formed their national identities through conflicts that bound their people together and created a national story that resonates with citizens.

Tom Smith

[Despite the increase in giving, the United States] is at the very bottom of all the rich countries in being generous to others, ... We give about one one-thousandth of our gross national product to humanitarian aid in other countries, including AIDS and everything else.

Jimmy Carter (1924-2002)

TABLE D'HOTE, n. A caterer's thrifty concession to the universal passion for irresponsibility.

Old Paunchinello, freshly wed, Took Madam P. to table, And there deliriously fed As fast as he was able.

"I dote upon good grub," he cried, Intent upon its throatage.
"Ah, yes," said the neglected bride,
"You're in your _table d'hotage_." --Associated Poets

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

If the grain were separated from the chaff, which fills the works of our national poets, what is truly valuable would be to what is useless in the proportion of a molehill to a mountain

Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

Poeter

It is specifically American, ... but that's not to say it's not universal. And I'm not fudging it. It is a parable of art that, to be universal, you must be specific. Otherwise, you are just talking about an abstraction. So you have to talk about a particular person and a particular place. Specificity is the essence of art. But it doesn't mean it doesn't have universal resonance.

David Cronenberg (1943-)
