Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
After a storm comes a calm.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
You never know what motivates you.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Who seeks shall find.
Always desire to learn something useful.
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.
