The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Know or listen to those who know.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Never complain and never explain.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
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.
