The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Know or listen to those who know.
Only the educated are free.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
You never know what motivates you.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Well done is better than well said.
After a storm comes a calm.
A poem can have an impact, but you can't expect an audience to understand all the nuances.
