Well done is better than well said.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Who seeks shall find.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
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.
