After a storm comes a calm.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
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.
