If you've got a talent, protect it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
Only the educated are free.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Know or listen to those who know.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Poetry is an art, and chief of the fine art the easiest to dabble in, the hardest in which to reach true excellence.
