The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Only the educated are free.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Never complain and never explain.
Who seeks shall find.
I can, therefore I am.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
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.
