Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Well done is better than well said.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
It's always too early to quit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Sometimes a noble failure serves the world as faithfully as a distinguished success.
For a poet to depict a poet in poetry is a hazardous experiment in regarding one's own trade a sense of humour and a little wholesome cynicism are not amiss.
