If you're going through hell, keep going.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Who seeks shall find.
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.
