Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Well done is better than well said.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
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.
