Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Well done is better than well said.
Who seeks shall find.
Only the educated are free.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
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.
