The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Leap, and the net will appear.
It's always too early to quit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
I can, therefore I am.
Writing poetry makes you intensely conscious of how words sound, both aloud and inside the head of the reader. You learn the weight of words and how they sound to the ear.
