Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
You never know what motivates you.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Well done is better than well said.
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.
