Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Only the educated are free.
Well done is better than well said.
After a storm comes a calm.
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.
