Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Know or listen to those who know.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Who seeks shall find.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Always desire to learn something useful.
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.
