Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Well done is better than well said.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
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.
