Wherever you are - be all there.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Well done is better than well said.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Only the educated are free.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
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.
