After a storm comes a calm.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Never complain and never explain.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
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.
