Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
You never know what motivates you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
It's always too early to quit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Never complain and never explain.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
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.
