Only the educated are free.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
You never know what motivates you.
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.
