If you've got a talent, protect it.
Only the educated are free.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
After a storm comes a calm.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
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.
