The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
You never know what motivates you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Know or listen to those who know.
Only the educated are free.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.
Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them.
