Wherever you are - be all there.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Never complain and never explain.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
I can, therefore I am.
Well done is better than well said.
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.
