If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Well done is better than well said.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Who seeks shall find.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
It's always too early to quit.
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.
