Know or listen to those who know.
You never know what motivates you.
I can, therefore I am.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Always desire to learn something useful.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Wherever you are - be all there.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
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.
