Always desire to learn something useful.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Only the educated are free.
You never know what motivates you.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Besides the actual reading in class of many poems, I would suggest you do two things: first, while teaching everything you can and keeping free of it, teach that poetry is a mode of discourse that differs from logical exposition.
