If you can dream it, you can do it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Well done is better than well said.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you've got a talent, protect 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.
