The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
You never know what motivates you.
Never complain and never explain.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Who seeks shall find.
Know or listen to those who know.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
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.
