Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Know or listen to those who know.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
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.
