By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you think you can do it, you can.
You never know what motivates you.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Only the educated are free.
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.
