The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
After a storm comes a calm.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
I could no more define poetry than a terrier can define a rat.
