Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
You never know what motivates you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Never complain and never explain.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
After a storm comes a calm.
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.
