You never know what motivates you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Who seeks shall find.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Never complain and never explain.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Only the educated are free.
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.
