The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Who seeks shall find.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Well done is better than well said.
Only the educated are free.
After a storm comes a calm.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
A poem can have an impact, but you can't expect an audience to understand all the nuances.
