Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Only the educated are free.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Women who are inclined to write poetry at all are inspired by being mad at something.
