Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Well done is better than well said.
It's always too early to quit.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Leap, and the net will appear.
I can, therefore I am.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Only the educated are free.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
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.
