If you think you can do it, you can.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Only the educated are free.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
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.
