Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Who seeks shall find.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
I can, therefore I am.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
You never know what motivates you.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
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.
