Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Who seeks shall find.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Know or listen to those who know.
Never complain and never explain.
A poem can have an impact, but you can't expect an audience to understand all the nuances.
