Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
I can, therefore I am.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
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.
