Creative Quotations from Sara Teasdale (1884-1933) born on Aug 8 US author, lyrical poet; Her passionate writings include "Rivers to the Sea," 1915 and "Stars Tonight," 1930.

When I can look Life in the eyes, Grown calm and very coldly wise, Life will have given me the Truth, And taken in exchange - my youth.

I have no riches but my thoughts, Yet these are wealth enough for me.

my heart that makes my songs, not I. It is my heart that makes my songs, not I.

And the least of all that goes. I make the most of all that comes, And the least of all that goes.

Moon, worn thin to the width of a quill, In the dawn clouds flying, How good to go, light into light, and still Giving light, dying.
