To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Only the educated are free.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
It's always too early to quit.
You never know what motivates you.
After a storm comes a calm.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
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.
