After a storm comes a calm.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
You never know what motivates you.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Know or listen to those who know.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Always desire to learn something useful.
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.
