By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
You never know what motivates you.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
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.
