What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Never complain and never explain.
Only the educated are free.
Wherever you are - be all there.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
I can, therefore I am.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Know or listen to those who know.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
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.
