Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
It's always too early to quit.
Never complain and never explain.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Poetry criticism at its worst today is mean in spirit and spiteful in intent, as if determined to inflict the wound that will spur the artist to new heights if it does not cripple him or her.
