To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Never complain and never explain.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Know or listen to those who know.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
You never know what motivates you.
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.
