Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
I can, therefore I am.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Wherever you are - be all there.
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.
