To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Who seeks shall find.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
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.
